THE SECOND KAT DYLAN MYSTERY
by CHRIS WIELAND
“Meet your favorite new young detective. Tough, smart, and relentless, Kat Dylan is Nancy Drew for the twenty-first century. The Body on the Beach is compelling and fun.”
- Christopher Farnsworth, author of The President’s Vampire series and Reunion
Even after cracking the case of the century, Kat and Alec are still stuck in Crabtree, and suffering through a long, cold winter. When a middle school mean girl approaches her with a problem, Kat can’t imagine it’s worth her time—or that there’s a chance it will lead to the next big mystery. But then Gabby becomes the focus of the local police, especially Kat’s Grandpa Nick. Before Kat can get to the bottom of things, she finds Gabby dead.
As Kat and Alec try to solve the murder, they find themselves at odds with kidnappers and killers, private eyes and cops, and more than a few kids and adults who would just like them to go away.
Kat Dylan and her little brother, Alec, are back!

Press

“In this thrilling follow-up to The Crabtree Monsters, Wieland’s smart, sassy, strong-minded heroine returns to detective work, unraveling not only a gripping murder mystery but also the complications of absentee parents, divorce, bullying, and town politics. . . . The Body on the Beach is a strong sequel in what is proving to be an engrossing middle-grade mystery series.”
