A Mysterious Review of …
The Secret Cellar by Michael D. Beil. A Red Blazer Girls Mystery.
Review summary: Readers are more likely to follow along than play along with the Red Blazer Girls as they gather together the necessary items required to gain entry into the titular site. While it is a dynamic, exciting entry in this series, it is also one which includes puzzles and clues that seem awfully esoteric, possibly well beyond the knowledge (or interest) of the intended audience.

The Secret Cellar
Michael D. Beil
A Red Blazer Girls Mystery
Knopf (October 2012)
Publisher synopsis: Mysteries seem to find the Red Blazer Girls: when Sophie finds a secret message in the antique fountain pen she bought for her father, the girls are on a case. Soon, they're at the home of the pen's original owner, a secretive man who kept to himself. His house is full of puzzles, all of which protect a hidden treasure, and the Blazers will do anything to get to the bottom of things. Throw in an ill-tempered bookstore owner with a motive, a missing will, a walking stick that doubles as a key, a school Christmas play, and a rat named Humphrey, and it all adds up to another thrilling adventure for the Red Blazer Girls.
