The Mystery on the Mississippi
Book 15 of the Trixie Belden series
A trip along the Mississippi gives Trixie Belden and the Bob-Whites a dramatically different setting for their next investigation. River travel and unfamiliar communities create opportunities for suspicious people to move—and disappear—more easily than they could in Sleepyside. Trixie’s habit of noticing inconsistencies draws the group into danger as they follow the mystery downstream. Kathryn Kenny combines travel adventure, American river scenery, and juvenile sleuthing in a case where the Mississippi is part of both the attraction and the problem.
