New Book Review: Terra Cotta Theft

Title: Terra Cotta Theft 

Author: Iris March 

Date: 2022 

Publisher: Wandering Gingko Press 

Quote: "Tommy...always seemed to be on the verge of making fun of her." 

This short mystery story really is suitable for sharing with the kids. It's a vignette from the fictional childhood of the detective in a full-length, grown-up detective novel. Here we meet Molly as a teenager working in her grandparents' plant shop, solving the mystery of who took the twenty-dollar bills out of the cash register.

If you want a long, complex puzzle to challenge your mind, skip this one. If you want a short, wholesome, family-friendly story like an update of Encyclopedia Brown, get Terra Cotta Theft.
