Misfits and murder meet in this brilliantly fun new mystery series by debut author Lis Jardine. A perfect next read for fans of The High-Rise Mysteries, Anisha, Accidental Detective and Murder Most Unladylike. INTRODUCING: THE DETENTION DETECTIVES. Jonno Archer doesn' t want to change schools, so puts zero effort into making new friends. But Plan A just isn' t convincing his parents the move was a mistake! He needs something a bit more dramatic. . . Finding a dead body at my new school was a pretty rubbish way to start. But actually getting mixed up in the case? I was bound to get into deep, deep trouble for that! When the wrong person is arrested for the crime, Jonno realises playing detective might just be the perfect Plan B. But the suspect list is long, and his classmates Daniel and Lydia also have reasons for wanting to solve the case. Jonno doesn' t want any new friends. But he might need all the help he can get.
Lis Jardine grew up in London and the Black Country, and now lives with her family on the edge of Bristol, where she works as a secondary school librarian. Her life has been shaped by a passion for fantasy, middle grade fiction and Golden Age crime. Lis studied English Literature at the University of Warwick and the MA in Writing for Young People at Bath Spa University. Lis was longlisted for the 2020 Penguin WriteNow programme and participated as a mentor in WriteMentor 2021. In her spare time, Lis likes to knit baby socks, practice Norwegian and invent interesting sandwich recipes.
