“Move over, Eloise at the Plaza: It’s Elodie at the Biltmore….Nelson draws out the mystery, planting clues and red herrings, explaining good reasoning, citing evidence, and providing a satisfying solution….An entertaining blend of quirky characters and locked-room puzzle.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This engaging mystery, a series starter for early readers…charms from page one. Elodie is a delightful lead character who demonstrates logic and compassion as she investigates, all the while fighting through doubts that she’s too young to be a detective.”—Publishers Weekly
“Charming. The Biltmore, Elodie, and Oscar (and as always, a cute puppy) make this a total win.”—Kevin Sylvester, award-winning author of Apartment 713
