"I, Nate the Great, have something to say. My cousin Olivia Sharp is almost (but not quite) the world's best detective. I solve mysteries. She's an agent for secrets. You won't forget Olivia. She won't let you."
Olivia Sharp is back! Rather than solve mysteries like her cousin Nate, Olivia helps friends with their problems by detecting what's wrong beneath the surface. You'll be won over by Olivia's spunk, eccentricities, and can-do spirit.
Desiree has a problem, but it's not what she thinks it is.... Can Olivia, with the help of her loyal cook Mrs. Fridgeflake and chauffeur Willie, help the wannabe princess and save principal Baybreath's school?

Reread:
Clever and creative, and funny. "Sometimes being rich helps. Sometimes it doesn't." I like that there's a distinction made between being a detective, an agent for secrets, and a spy. I like that nothing is ever as easy as it seems at first, but Olivia persists.

Best if read in order, but not necessary. I wish there were more.
