The Agatha Frix Series Just Got a Whole Lot Better
summarizeEditor's Summary
I just finished reading the second part of the Agatha Frix trilogy, and I'm hooked. The bright orange cover immediately caught my eye, and the story inside is just as engaging. Our young detective Agatha is back, peeking out of her hiding spot to observe and try to solve the mystery. The cover art is eye-catching, and the familiar tagline 'There's no such thing as too strange...' is back, which perfectly captures the essence of the series. I love how the author weaves a tale that's both mysterious and relatable, with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure.

What's the story about?
Agatha's back at the British Museum, where she's always been fascinated, and she's on a new adventure with her friend Liam. But things take a dark turn when someone gets attacked, and a valuable item goes missing. Here's the twist: it's not the most valuable thing in the museum that gets stolen.
So, why did the thief choose something less valuable? Who's behind this dastardly crime? And how does it connect to the Guild that Agatha's mom was a part of? The answers lie within the pages of 'The Secrets of the Porters'.
I gotta say, I was hooked from start to finish. This series is a total winner, and I'm excited to dive into the final installment. The Agatha Frix series has a way of drawing you in and keeping you engaged, and this book is no exception.
