Firstly, I would like to point out that she is NOT a big or keen reader AT ALL. She reads Lottie Brooks, Wimpy Kid, and hasn't read much else for a long time. So books aimed at below her age are also very ok to recommend! I think she actually gets overwhelmed looking at a book.

What I'm asking for is -
She likes watching Good Ship Murder, Beyond Paradise and Death Valley and Return to Paradise
So..... Are there any recommendations for books which involve murder or crime or intrigue or mystery like that or suspicious things? Because that's what she likes about the TV programmes

Is there any people might be able to recommend that she might get sucked into from the start? And wouldn't be overwhelming?
