Mondays are murder / Tanya Landman.
I know what you did last Wednesday / Anthony Horowitz.
Classic mysteries set on isolated Scottish islands where the invited guests are being killed off one by one.
Try and figure out who’s responsible, but be warned, the authors throw in red herrings to try and make you suspect the wrong people.
These skinny books are a fast paced read for older kids and teens.

Ryan and Sarah are trapped inside the mystery of Skeleton Creek. Nothing in their town is what it first appears to be. And there are forces at work that want to keep old secrets buried . . . at any cost.
Clue by clue, the pieces begin to add up – and they all point to danger. In his journal, Ryan tries to chronicle his discoveries. Meanwhile, Sarah investigates and captures what she sees on video.
As time starts to run out, Ryan and Sarah are forced to make more and more desperate moves to get to the heart of the mystery. Someone – alive or dead – is trying to stop them. And as the stakes get higher, so do the risks.
There are three sides to this story: Ryan’s. Sarah’s. And the deadly truth.
Nothing is safe in Skeleton Creek. Read it. Watch it. Live it.
“Nancy, I can’t believe it. When Aunt Estelle invited you to come on this trip to Italy with Bess and me, I figured it would give you a break from mysteries and you’ve still managed to find one!”
“I know, George, but isn’t it strange to find an American girl in the middle of Rome with no memory of how she got there?”
Come along for the ride with three of the best teen detectives of all time in the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Super Mystery, Danger Overseas.
