When an unexplained blackout engulfs Stonetown, Reynis, Kate, Sticky, and Constance must unravel clues relating to a nefarious new plot, while their search for answers brings them closer to danger than ever before.

I love that this book had such a perfect ending which addresses any concerns that a reader might have! (

I do wish there had been more puzzles to solve in this third book, but it had a sweet ending, so I'm happy.

Also, 4-year-old Constance Contraire reminds me so much of my 5-year-old niece, so that made me smile throughout the whole book. (

Every bit as fun as the first two. I especially liked Del Roy’s reading of these! (

This book was great! I loved the first Mysterious Benedict book, and then the second one was disappointing, but this one (the third) was funny, fast paced, and interesting. The characters are great, and the plot is full of twists and turns. (
