Alice Ogilvie and Iris Adams became the talk of Castle Cove when they cracked the biggest case of the fall: the death of Brooke Donovan. Together, the Agathas put Brooke's killer away for good, and since then things around town have been almost back to normal. Quiet, even.
But if Alice and Iris know anything, it's that sometimes quiet is just the calm before the storm. The truth is, Brooke's disappearance wasn't the first mystery to rock Castle Cove, and it won't be the last. So when their school dance at the infamous Levy Castle—the site of film starlet Mona Moody's unsolved death back in the 1940s—is interrupted by a violent assault, Iris and Alice pull out their murder boards and get back to work.
To understand the present, sometimes you need to look into the past. And if the Agathas want a chance at solving their new case, that's exactly where they'll need to start digging. Only, what they uncover might very well kill them.
I really liked the first book, The Agathas so I was looking forward to The Night in Question. This time around, Alice and Iris try to prove that their classmate is not responsible for stabbing another classmate at the school dance. This one should not be read as a stand alone. It does spoil the first book for you.
I'll be honest, I was underwhelmed by this one. It didn't draw me in like the first one did. The story was kind of boring. I didn't feel the same excitement following Iris and Alice while they solved the msytery. Even the older mystery involving the movie star from the 1940s was underwhelming. There was too much teen/romance angst and I just didn't care. I'm hoping the next one is better than this one.
