If you grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, this title is sure to ring a bell. It is an homage to the Scooby-Doo style mystery, only the "meddling kids" are all grown up now. The story is full of sly pop culture references and has a great storyline too. There is horror mixed with hilarity as the group of young adults return to their childhood roots--the Blyton Summer Detective Club. This time around, the supernatural isn't make-believe, it's real. The novel also explores the effect that childhood trauma can have on people as they try to navigate adulthood, and how the memories of youth can become distorted. Catnero has a unique writing style and a voice that is thoroughly enjoyable. Jinkies! Give this book a try!
