About the Books
The Agatha Oddly series follows a sharp, determined young detective as she turns London's streets, museums, and hidden corners into the setting for three interlocking mysteries. Agatha Oddlow is working toward membership in a secret society called the Gatekeepers' Guild, and each book pulls her deeper into cases that test her wit and courage. The Secret Key opens the series, introducing Agatha's world and the first hints of mysteries hidden beneath the city she calls home. Murder at the Museum raises the stakes with a killing at the British Museum tied to a scheme involving an abandoned Tube station and a hidden stash of gold bullion. The Silver Serpent closes the set with a missing person case at the National Gallery that unravels into a citywide conspiracy stretching across some of London's most iconic locations. Author Lena Jones builds a stylish, contemporary London filled with real landmarks and clever puzzles that reward careful readers who like to piece together clues alongside the heroine. Agatha is a standout heroine: resourceful, observant, and unwilling to let adults tell her a mystery isn't hers to solve. The books balance tension with warmth and humor, making them accessible for readers moving into layered detective fiction, delivering a satisfying arc across all three cases.
