Can anyone recommend mystery books for DD13?

[IHeartKingThistle]

Well, she's nearly 13. Has suddenly decided she loves mystery stories after reading one about a boy who goes missing from the London Eye. She's read Ruby Redfort. Doesn't like horror. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Alex Rider is mystery/adventure.
Obviously there's all the Enid Blyton ones, but they're probably a bit young for her.
Josephine Tey has some excellent ones. My dc all loved "Daughter in Time" which is looking at the Princes in the Tower, but Brat Farrar and The Franchise Affair have been enjoyed as well.

Then you can look at older ones. Ds is currently enjoying the Marston Baines spy series by Malcolm Saville. He loves the Lone Pine series (also mystery)by him too. They're dated, and you'll get them on ebay, but he raves about them.
Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew if she likes it to be a bit sensational and a near death at the end of every other chapter.
3 Investigators was another set my dc liked, but I don't think you can get hold of them easily.
There's the Roman Mysteries, again possibly a bit young, but a good series.

Cadfael series by Ellis Peters? - mediaeval monk who used to be a soldier and knows about herbs. Gorgeously written. Later books contain major spoilers for earlier ones. A Morbid Taste for Bones followed by One Corpse Too Many. Touches on adult themes (including being gay) but nothing explicit.

She also wrote some contemporary (1960s) stories centred around a police detective, George Felse: eg A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs, Death and the Joyful Woman.

Falco novels by Lindsey Davis - set in Rome about AD70. Again major spoilers as the mystery runs alongside his personal life. First one is The Silver Pigs.

Thanks all!

@AvenueQ that's the same author as the one she read so sounds perfect!

They are brilliant, highly recommended

My parents love mystery fiction so it's mostly what I read growing up.
Dick Francis wrote some crackers.

Christie but it's formulaic after a while.

Sherlock Holmes?
Lady Grace mysteries series, set at Elizabethan court, or Riddle of the Runes? They might be a little young.

At that age I was reading agatha christie.

Robin Stevens has a really fun boarding school mystery series

that's the same author as the one she read so sounds perfect!

That's odd, because my copy of The London Eye Mystery was written by Siobhan Dowd.

John grisham writes for teens - the Theodore Boone series is liked by mine.

Agree with Robin Stevens and also try clockwork sparrow. Looking for ideas for dd too.

Siobhan Dowd wrote the London Eye Mystery, Robin Stevens the follow up, The Guggenheim Mystery.

Robin Stevens' books are in the link I posted below.

Second Theodore Boon, very good.
