The Cold Kid Case (Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery Series) by Rosalind Barden – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

The Cold Kid Case: A Sparky of Bunker Hill Mystery by Rosalind Barden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Cold Kid Case is Book One in the Sparky of Bunker Hill Series. It is a historical cozy mystery with drama, suspense, intrigue, murder, mayhem, and paranormal elements. The storyline is set in the 1930’s and centers around an eleven-year-old street-smart girl who stumbles onto the body of a deceased young girl. Afterwards she is accused of being responsible for the girl’s death and finds herself on the lam as suspect number one. Sparky soon discovers who her true friends are as even those closest to her seem to want to turn their backs on her and turn her into the police. This was an entertaining read with a great storyline and vivid scene descriptions. The author takes the reader into the 1930’s through her attention to historical details, language, and norms of that era. Sparky was an instantly lovable character with her precocious attitude, wit, sense of humor, and street smarts. I look forward to reading book number two in this series!
