This was an interesting mystery. 6 kids have been selected to go to the home of Countess Windemore. Apparently one of them is her long lost grandchild. Tabitha is one of the chosen children. At the initial visit it is revealed that all 6 children were adopted. This doesn't come as a big surptise to Tabitha. But something is fishy. The countess starts acting very strangely after the parents leave, a servant dies, there are weird noises, and secret passages. With the hep of her pet mouse, new friends, and advice from her favorite story book detective, Tabitha seeks out the truth.
I loved the first hundred pages, the second hundred pages dragged a bit, and the ending was good. I figured out most of the mystery within the first 50 pages but there were some surprises. Overall it was a good mystery but I am worried it is a bit too long to hold my student's attention.
