The Secret of the Musical Tree
Book 19 of the Judy Bolton Mysteries series
Near Christmas, Judy Bolton is repeatedly mistaken for her cousin Roxy Zoller and soon learns that Roxy and her father have survived a plane crash but are behaving strangely. A mysterious early present and coded note convince Judy that Roxy wants them to exchange places. Judy reaches the house and discovers that Roxy and her father are being held prisoner, leaving the look-alike cousins to attempt a dangerous switch. Margaret Sutton turns mistaken identity, holiday atmosphere, and a musical Christmas tree into a tense Judy Bolton mystery built around family resemblance and quick thinking.
