Description: In her fourth book featuring the Beary family, Elizabeth Elwood delivers another thoroughly satisfying collection. "The Agatha Principle" is followed by seven cleverly crafted shorter stories with a variety of settings. In "The Man in the Cage", a child falls into deadly peril at the 2010 Winter Olympics; a dramatic historical mystery dating back to the War of 1812 is featured in "Tragedy at The Oaks", and the book closes on a delightfully light-hearted note as the Bearys visit Vancouver's Bright Nights and solve "The Mystery of the Christmas Train". With intriguing puzzles to challenge the reader and an engaging story of a charming heroine whose relationship with a Vancouver detective is as captivating as the cases they solve together, The Agatha Principle and Other Mystery Stories is a must for lovers of classic mystery fiction.
