Murder for kids, in the tradition of Murder Most Unladylike, done in Janice Hallett's trademark epistolary/found-document style. A brother and sister whose parents have just seperated text each other, going through a box of documents found by the brother in the attic of their house. A scout camp in the woods is disturbed by strange lights and noises, hauntings, and MURDERRRRR. It's fun, exciting, and does that thing where the book teaches the reader how the genre works as they go on.
