Teenage Sleuth Chronicles, Girls edition
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!

I've got some more you could add! 💕💕 (I hope I didn't mention anything already on the list)
• Charlotte Holmes series • Gallagher Girls series (or any Ally Carter ya book really) • Sadie • every. single. Jennifer Lynn Barnes. • Stalking Jack the Ripper • Pride and Premeditation • The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas • None Shall Sleep • actually, every Karen M McManus? • Firekeeper's Daughter • all of Sara Shepard? • The Thrashers
Firekeeper's daughter is on my tbr. Thought it is more magic realism meets fantasy but even better if there is mystery in it 🤩
I thought so too (the cover is gorgeous yet so misleading!), but it's actually very much a ya crime/mystery book with such a hard hitting plot, I actually teared up when reading it
It's on my tbr for May. Sounds perfect! Can't wait to start
can't wait to see what you think, it's been a few years for me but it was somehow so impactful for me, it's still so vivid in my mind
btw thanks for the mention in the description you're too cute 🫶😭
of course 🫶🏻
Yay! Saving the heck out of this, thank you for making it!
you're so welcome! Feel free to comment some recs if I missed anything
