When there are mysteries to be solved, the Red Blazer Girls are on the case! The discovery of the Ring of Rocamadour has secured the girls’ reputation as Upper East Side super-sleuths, bringing many sundry job requests (no mystery too small, right?) and some unwanted attention from crooks. This time the girls must follow a trail of cryptic clues, involving everything from logic to literature, to trace a rare violin gone missing. But nothing is as it appears, and just as a solution seems imminent, the girls find themselves scrambling to save the man who was once their prime suspect. Bowstrings and betrayal, crushes and codes abound in this suspenseful companion to the Red Blazer Girls’ 2009 debut. Recent clues indicate that there’ll be more mystery and mayhem to come!
Michael D. Beil is an English teacher in a New York City high school. The Red Blazer Girls: The Vanishing Violin is his second book for Knopf, and he is currently at work on a third Red Glazer Girls mystery.
“After successfully solving the mystery of the missing Ring of Rocamadour, the Red Blazer Girls are famous detectives, at least in and around St. Veronica’s School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Sophie, Margaret, Leigh Ann, and Rebecca are asked by Sister Bernadette to discover who is rearranging furniture and redecorating the school at night. However, before they can solve this mystery, another appears. Margaret receives a strange message about a violin that was stolen from Carnegie Hall over fifty years ago. The girls are eager to take on their second real mystery searching for newspaper accounts in the public library. Then they begin to receive cryptic notes promising clues to the violin’s location. Solving the coded messages is challenging and fun for the young detectives, as well as for the reader. Along with solving mysteries, the girls must also contend with the usual problems of seventh grade, including crushes and backstabbing friends. The surprising and satisfying resolution will delight readers.”
