Aggie Morton Mystery Queen: The Body Under the Piano


 Disclaimer:  I listened to the audiobook.

Aggie Morton is a young girl living in England.  Her father has died, her older sister has married and moved off, her grandmother lives with she and her mother. Aggie meets Hector, a refugee from Belgium, in her favorite sweet shop.  As Aggie and her friends put on a fundraiser for the refugees, it later turns into a murder scene.  Aggie finds a body under the piano the next morning at her dance lesson.   One of her friends, Rose, and her dance instructor (Rose's Aunt) is the body!  Aggie and Hector join forces to solve the mystery, but will Aggie solve it or become another murder?

 Agatha Morton is a character loosely based on Agatha Christie, mystery writer.  It is written as if she is a young girl sleuth, with her friend Hector Perot, who is a character in Christie's books.  

Wasn't my favorite mystery, but it did have good writing and also some side conversations Aggie would imagine or have with herself.
