The Accidental Gumshoe Marja McGraw

Sandi Webster is stuck at home with an injured foot. Always the one to help out, her mother sends her a box of old diaries written by her Great-great-great-Aunt Sioux, hoping she'll learn about their family history. Initially Sandi is just about bored to tears while reading what the weather was like and what her aunt had for dinner on any given day. She's ready to stop reading when she notices a diary marked 1920, with a page marked. Aunt Sioux's father was accused of murder, and Sandi's seventeen-year-old aunt was determined to learn who the real killer was with the help of her cousin and two male friends, and eventually her mother. What she had for dinner is the last thing on her mind. Sandi may learn where she developed her interest in being a private detective and her passion for solving mysteries. She may also learn that, of all things, a broom can come in quite handy in some of life's situations.
