Not a Detective

Lucy has never considered herself particularly good at anything. When her innocent brother is arrested for murder, Lucy is more surprised than anyone else when she discovers her talent for mystery solving. People quickly take notice, leading to odd emails from an unknown sender and more attention than she bargained for from the school’s strangest student. As she gets roped into increasingly more little mysteries, Lucy must decide how far she’s willing to go for the rush of solving them and how much she’s willing to risk.
