The Warning on the Window

by Margaret Sutton

Book 20 of the Judy Bolton Mysteries series

Judy Bolton discovers a disturbing warning connected to a window, transforming a familiar building into the center of a new mystery. What first looks like a threatening message leads her toward people whose private troubles and secrets are hidden behind ordinary appearances. Judy’s investigation depends on noticing how the warning was delivered and who had the opportunity to place it. Margaret Sutton’s later Judy Bolton mystery combines domestic settings, social observation, and suspense in the series’ characteristic style, where an ominous clue usually points toward a very human problem.
