Nick and Tesla have decided it is time to learn the truth about where their parents are and what they are working on. When two government agents admit the twin’s parents are missing, they start to look for clues the agents have missed. Will they find the clues to save the day?

I was so glad to see that this on-going mystery was the focus of this book, and it’s nice to get some answers about what has been happening. The characters are good for a middle grade series, although one does seem very over the top. Still, this is a climax that series fans will appreciate.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Kinsey is hired to track down a missing woman by the woman’s estranged sister. It seems like a boring routine case at first, but the more she digs into it, the more Kinsey begins to question what is happening. No one has seen the woman for months, and the normal avenues of inquiry just aren’t adding up. What is going on?

I really got pulled into this book and great enjoyed it. The plot is strong with plenty of clues and red herrings, but everything came together at the end. The characters are sharp, often with just a few words or sentences. It’s easy to see why this series has been so popular for so long.

I found this book fascinating throughout. The story line kept you gripped. You really feel for Maud throughout the book as she is really trying to fix all the pieces together from her past and present. The past story with Sukey has a predicable outcome but you never find out how it all happened. That's the only bit I felt could be predicted but the present story line with Elizabeth varies right to the last minute.

You really feel for Maud at the end because she has helped solve the mystery of her missing sister due to her memory she is unaware she finally has the answers she has been looking for.

Overall I loved the book. But I have so many different questions but we will stay as blissfully unaware as Maud is at the end of the book.
