Mystery in Arizona
Book 6 of the Trixie Belden series
260 pages · First published 1958
Trixie Belden travels to Arizona, where the unfamiliar landscape and people surrounding her hosts quickly provide a new mystery. What begins as a trip away from Sleepyside turns into an investigation shaped by desert terrain and regional history. Trixie’s instinct to ask questions repeatedly draws her and her friends closer to danger. Julie Campbell’s series entry combines travel adventure and juvenile mystery, using the Arizona setting to give the familiar Belden sleuthing formula a distinctly Western backdrop.
