Inspired by theaisreading and my love for teenage detectives and crime stories, I need a list which collects them all. Whether it’s missing secrets or suspicious suspects, these young, sometimes unintentional, detectives are always one step ahead and rarely play by the rules. From cozy to high stake. We don't judge. Feel free to recommend books I've missed and you like!
