The Blurb On The Back:
Super-smart by day, super-sleuth by night.
Justice Jones is on the case …
An intriguing new girl catches Justice’s attention this year. Letitia has never been to school before and doesn’t care for the rules. Mysteriously, the teachers don’t seem to mind!
Then, after a midnight feast in the barn, and a terrifying ghost-sighting in the garden, one of Justice’s friends disappears. Justice has to investigate. But why are the ransom notes torn from the pages of a crime novel?
Can Justice find the kidnapper - before it’s too late?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The third in the A GIRL CALLED JUSTICE mystery series by Elly Griffiths for readers aged 9+ lacked tension and pace partly due to a lot of set up with the introduction of Letitia. As a result I didn’t believe in the peril and despite a good twist, the investigation is quite patchy. That said, I did like Letitia’s attitude and she’ll make an interesting addition to the Barnowls and the tension with Stella and Dorothy would make me read on.
A GIRL CALLED JUSTICE: THE GHOST IN THE GARDEN was released in the United Kingdom on 13th May 2021. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
