Synopsis

A witty, witchy, fantasy murder mystery packed with ancient magic and fiendish puzzles. Mallory, Diana, Cornelia, and Theodore are hired to solve a murder on a TV shoot by the victim herself.

Five months after they stopped The Whistler, business is booming for the Undetectables. Just not work that requires magical forensic investigators. So when Diana's ex asks them to solve a murder—her own—Diana, Mallory, and Cornelia can't say no.

Going undercover to investigate the set of the TV show, Undead Complex, Diana returns to her life as a propmaker. But even the appearance of a genuine-article Francine Leon dollhouse leaves her feeling pulled down a path of crime-solving she doesn't want to walk forever.

Meanwhile, Theodore's coming apart at the seams—literally—and Mallory is running out of ways to help him. Especially as he seems to be keeping secrets from her.

As the clues—and the bodies—keep piling up, each one making less and less sense, the Undetectables find themselves in a race against time to find out what, exactly, the killer is up to—before the final cut.

The Undetectables was one of my favourite books last year, and I loved returning to this world again. There was plenty of mystery to be had again, and once again I enjoyed the way that Smyth drew out all the details. It is a slow-paced book and some readers may become frustrated with how slowly thin......more

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC for this book. I'm usually not a mystery reader. That said, I read the first book a while ago and fell in love with all the characters so when I saw there was a second one out soon I just had to read it. These books make it so much fin to keep guess......more
