Kids, ages 9 to 12, get ready to meet your new heroes in the exciting first book of the Botanic Hill Detectives Mysteries series! World-famous Egyptologist Dr. Winston Thornsley died suddenly two months ago in disgrace. His widow, Ida Thornsley, remains convinced her husband was falsely accused of stealing an ancient burial urn he discovered in Egypt last summer, but local and federal law enforcement officers are stumped. Mrs. Thornsley, desperate for answers, calls in her thirteen-year-old neighbors, the Botanic Hill Detectives--twins Lanny and Lexi Wyatt, Moki Kalani, and Rani Kumar. Their exciting mission? To find the urn and its real thief, bring the criminal to justice, and exonerate Dr. Thornsley so his spotless reputation can be restored. A roomful of venomous snakes, the poisoned Egyptian pond, and Dragon Pit Man are just a few of the tests awaiting the four tech-savvy teenagers. As the detectives begin to unravel the sinister plot, the mystery takes a dangerous turn. Answers are at their fingertips--if they can only convince their parents to let them solve the case.

Thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review through Shannon from R&R Book Tours.
This story follows 4 kids who I believe are all 13 who have formed the Botanic Hills Detective Agency. If I'm not mistaken this would be considered a middle grade book. I don't typically read books geared toward younger audiences all that much so please correct me if I'm Wrong. I do think this is a great book for the targeted audience.
For me I did enjoy the story and it was a very quick and easy read to get through. You do have to suspend belief though because I have a hard time believing that parents and police officers would allow four kids to actually investigate a crime much less that an old lady would actually call in kids to investigate.
Anyways suspending belief I did enjoy my time reading this book. I thought it was very simplistic but cute. I don't think I would carry on with the series but I definitely think if you have kids that read middle grade books this could definitely be one they would enjoy.
