There are a lot of suspects in this book such as Farnsworth Grant, Jerry Tilson and Scott Wells and there are a lot of distractions too but you will have to read the book to find those out. Will Encyclopedia Brown solve this mystery? Read this book to find out.

P.S This is a very funny book.

The Vampire's Vacation

I liked The Vampire's Vacation, because Josh thinks the person in the black cape is a vampire. In the beginning of the story Ruth Rose thinks Josh is a crazy person. I thought that was funny. I love how a six year old kid helps them in the mystery. He helps them by watching a movie and an actor looks like the vampire. Will this lead to the capture of the vampire? You will have to read the book to find out more! Go out and get it. It's a scary read.

I read"THE CASE OF THE KNIFE IN THE WATERMELON". I liked the book because no one knew at first how the knife got in the watermelon. In the story, there are many clues. The victim's jacket had an L on the back on the picture. So EB knew it was the lion who put the knife in the watermelon. So EB went to the lions and asked them who put the knife in the watermelon. I think you should read this story.

As soon as Kate (Clarissa's owner) is finished feeding Clarissa, Sylvia follows Clarissa on her walk but noticed that she went into two other houses! Could Clarissa have three owners?
