The death of a hotel guest in a shabby seaside village comes to the attention of big city police when they learn that the dead man was a retired cop. Local police and a university professor also take interest. Was this murder or an accidental death? Is this linked to a past murder? What secrets are being hidden by the innkeeper’s family? This is one in a series of books featuring Japan’s Detective Galileo. Highly enjoyable. Kept me guessing. Will definitely read more from this author.

I like how her hair color changes and her feelings change when she is feeling different things!

I loooooove that book! everyone should get a chance to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.5??

They were in the magic treehouse, they found a pirate book and wanted to go there. Then they were in there and got caught by the pirates. To try to get out, they put them in the real ship in a basement and they knew where the treasure was so they went.

I read this book for a summer reading bingo (square: read two books with the same title). This is a very short YA book but has excellent representation of Tourette’s and a sweet friendship/romance. There’s some tough family dynamics and painful social meanness.

Guys listen to me, I know this is volume 19 of a series you will probably never read but it needs be remarked that everytime an adventure shoujo series surpasses 15 volumes it suddenly picks up steam and is just eminently readable. This series is no exception, truly one of the best manga confessions and rejections I've read in a hot minute cause I just like all of these characters so much and they don't act out of character just for the plot to progress as so many manga. Snow White with the Red Hair & Yona of the Dawn supremacy forever!!

it was amazing

Loved it!!! Was desperately rooting for Delphie.

This book came onto my radar via NetGalley. I was lucky to receive an ARC for review. Katie Beudert provided excellent southern narration that provided the perfect ambiance for a beauty pageant and murder mystery. I thought this book was a lot of fun. The characters were colorful. This is a good summer read to escape from the real world day-to-day. Read if you’re a fan of Miss Congeniality.
