Intrigue in Istanbul: An Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure

*2017 Midwest Book Award Winner *

If you enjoy Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce, you'll enjoy Christine Keleny's Agnes Kelly. She is the 1960s American version of Flavia de Luce. Agnes "is a Scout Finch from the Upper Midwest, a little older, but with the same qualities of curiosity, courage, and boldness of heart."

"Intrigue in Istanbul: An Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure" is set in 1961, a time of the cold war and space race. But that isn't on Agnes' radar. Her dad has died and during a trip with her grandmother to Istanbul, she accidentally finds out it was under suspicious circumstances, but that's just the beginning.

Book One of the Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure Series will make you laugh, set you on the edge of your seat, and leaving you wanting more - both the older and younger reader alike.

"Agnes Kelly, a girl growing up in the 1960s, is not unlike twelve year old girls of the 21st century. She is inquisitive, observant and thoughtful. Middle school readers will relish Intrigue in Istanbul-An Agnes Kelly Mystery Adventure by Christine Keleny from start to finish..."
