The Cold Kid Case (Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery Series) by Rosalind Barden – Review by Jennifer Crain
The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery by Rosalind Barden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Overall, The Cold Kid Case by Rosalind Barden is an exciting and engaging mystery novel. The story follows a determined and spunky eleven-year-old girl named Sparky who finds herself on the run and wanted for murder after discovering a dead girl on a park bench. Set in 1932 Los Angeles, the book paints a vivid picture of the tough times and struggles of the era.
The plot is well-crafted, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers engaged. The characters are memorable, especially Sparky, who is easy to root for. Tootsie, the former silent film star, and the mysterious goblin also add an interesting element to the story.
The writing style is engaging and well-paced, making it easy to get lost in the story. The author does an excellent job of capturing the time period, and the dialogue feels authentic.
Overall, The Cold Kid Case is a great read for mystery fans, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging and well-written story. I look forward to reading more from Rosalind Barden in the future. It is NOT a kids story despite the cover, and found it an intriguing read.
