The Mystery Off Old Telegraph Road
Book 20 of the Trixie Belden series
Suspicious events along Old Telegraph Road give Trixie Belden a new local puzzle to investigate. The road’s history and relative isolation provide places for people to move without attracting the attention they might receive in town. Trixie and the Bob-Whites follow clues that gradually connect apparently separate incidents. Kathryn Kenny’s mystery uses a familiar roadway as an atmospheric setting for family-friendly suspense, showing again how quickly Trixie can turn a neighborhood oddity into a full investigation.
