Brand new for 8- to 12-year-old murder-mystery readers in 2025, debut author Claire Hatcher-Smith's unique detective heroine Mizzy will steal your heart!

What's more ... someone in the family appears to have been involved.</p><p>Under the guise of a family-tree project for school, and armed with a brand new set of Pipsqueak markers, Mizzy grabs the chance to prove herself to her cousins - and the world.</p><p>"Pacey and funny with a twisty plot and a fabulous heroine in Mizzy, <em>A Skeleton in the Closet</em> explores themes of being underestimated in a brilliant, relatable way.

A total delight!" BookTrust</p><p>"This makes our Top 10 because of its page-turning murder mystery, endearing heroine and cast of English eccentrics."
