The Mystery of the Disappearing Ruby Earring

Thirteen-year-old Jennifer Nicole McGillicuddy, nicknamed Sweet Pickles, lives in the small riverside town of Anglers Cove, North Carolina-a place where most folks would assume not much ever happens.

Or does it? With a natural curiosity and a talent for solving things, Sweet Pickles searches for mysteries in her sleepy little town. High on her list is the Beethoven Castle, an abandoned 1800s mansion rumored to be haunted, according to some of the townspeople who swear they've heard strange and eerie organ music coming from it around Halloween every year. She's determined to one day muster up the courage and find a way into the mansion to try and figure out who or what is behind the ghostly music.

Just when she thinks that that's the only mystery in town, she learns that Thomas, one of her best friends, is being suspected of a crime she is certain he didn't commit. Along with her other bestie Deardra and their canine sidekicks, Buster and Tuck, she sets out to solve the mystery behind the unusual crime and to clear Thomas's name.

Follow along with Sweet Pickles and her friends through the twists and turns as they unravel the clues in this fun-filled adventure in mystery solving.
