The Mark on the Mirror
Book 15 of the Judy Bolton Mysteries series
206 pages · First published 1942
A strange mark appearing on a mirror becomes the clue that draws Judy Bolton into another mystery involving family and community secrets. The mirror’s reflective surface makes appearances particularly unreliable, and Judy must determine whether what she sees is evidence, warning, or deliberate misdirection. Her investigation gradually connects the mark to people whose motives are hidden behind more ordinary behavior. Margaret Sutton’s Judy Bolton mystery combines an eerie visual clue with practical sleuthing and the series’ interest in how everyday objects can suddenly expose concealed trouble.
