- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among people who can't resist a good whodunit and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead, this one's for you. It plays fair with the clues, so you can play along. A good follow-up to Enola Holmes or The Secret Life of Bees.

- Tense, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.

Late one night, Billy and Kade Ruckman see their neighbor, Michael Chambers, murder a woman, but Chambers has a story all set to convince their mother Vicky, that it was just a rehearsal scene from an opera. The only ones who can help them find the body in Chambers' house before he moves and gets rid of all evidence, are their friends, Jimmy, Eddie, and J.J., who are determined to find the body before Chambers finds them.
