The Detention Detectives

RELEASED 05/01/2023

Misfits and murder meet in a brilliantly fun new mystery series by debut author Lis Jardine. A perfect next read for fans of The High-Rise Mysteries, Anisha, Accidental Detective and Murder Most Unladylike.

INTRODUCING: THE DETENTION DETECTIVES.

Jonno never wanted to move schools. What about his friends? The basketball team? The band?

So he makes ZERO effort to fit in with his new classmates at Hanbridge High.

But then he finds the body . . .

One thing Jonno does love is a mystery. And when he thinks that the wrong person's been arrested for the crime, he just can't help getting involved.

He's not alone; Star Trek superfan Daniel and snoopy school reporter Lydia are desperate to solve the case too.

And with every single teacher at school a suspect . . . Jonno's going to need all the help he can get.
