Reviews
"Praise for Minerva Keen's Detective Club ""Red herrings and gross-out humor abound in this approachable, Only Murders in the Building-esque whodunit...wonderfully quirky characters, slapstick buffoonery, and smart pacing propel this rambunctious detective story--and its charismatic narrator--into a dynamic mystery.""--Publisher's Weekly ""Patterson and Graff deliver a typically fast-paced, twisty caper made up of short chapters laced with frights, flights, misadventures, and, just for laffs, enough burping and farting to put a stockyard to shame... A flying start for a smart sleuth who's not averse to heading into harm's way.""--Kirkus Reviews"
