Absolutely nerve tingling and rocking Minerva Keen's Detective Club by James Patterson & Keir Graff is an absolutely marvelous thriller and mystery YA book. The book is the first in Minerva Keen series, and, you cannot just miss it for being only for young readers. The plot starts in a posh building where unexplained murders start happening. Amateur detective Minerva Keen takes on the responsibility to uncover the truth. Then the story takes a new turn with every page. The book is so absorbing that I finished it within a day. I eagerly waiting for the next book in the series. Minerva Keen's character has everything which a teenage girl should have. She is funny, responsible and interesting. The climax is open ended, yet to reveal more of itself. It was really an enjoyable read. Definitely, 5 stars for the book. Thanks to TBR and Beyond Tours for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Premise/plot: Minerva Keen starts a detective club after a series of strange occurrences at the apartment building where she leaves. The strange occurrences? Well a series of poisonings--a few residents die from the poison; a few manage to survive just long enough for the police (and Minerva's detective club) to solve the case. Minerva and her brother, Heck, are being cared for by their cousin, Bizzy, a college student, I believe. The parents are off--perhaps in more than one way. Essentially, all the kids are running amok, but, that might be beneficial considering how helpful they are to the police detective.
My thoughts: I really enjoyed so many aspects of this one. Was it realistic? No. Definitely more of an escape read. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The "problems" in this one aren't like the problems you'd find in so called "problem books" that are super-serious and heavy. Yes, the parents are completely and totally missing and oblivious to their kids' needs. Yes, the cousin--who's in her early to mid 20s--isn't much more responsible. But on the bright side, the book almost sparkles with entertainment value.
All that being said, I cringe at the thought of the ending chapters of this one. I can't say why without spoiling. I'll give you a hint though--it's not clown or dentist related. ( )
