Murder in the Band. Puzzle Mysteries Collection
The teenage rock band The IVs seems unstoppable: screaming fans, millions of followers, and a singer born for stardom. Then Lucky collapses on stage and dies hours later. The police arrest the band’s manager, but bassist Julie knows the story doesn’t add up. As fans turn vicious online and suspicion closes in around the band, Julie starts investigating. What she uncovers is a dangerous mix of ambition, jealousy, and a scandal engineered for maximum impact. Lucky’s death was never supposed to happen — but someone pushed the plan too far.
Murder in the Band is part of the Puzzle Mysteries series, a highly engaging middle-grade collection (age 10+), created by a remarkable group of acclaimed Italian authors from the Book on a Tree collective. Each stand-alone novel is a brilliantly constructed interactive puzzle that reinvents the classic whodunit with fresh, contemporary twists. With no supernatural shortcuts, every mystery is solved through logic, deduction, and sharp observation. Readers are treated as real detectives, invited to gather clues, untangle deceptions, and solve the case alongside unconventional young protagonists. From gothic Alpine boarding schools and isolated islands to luxury trains and high-pressure contemporary concerts, each book offers a distinctive setting and a fresh angle on the genre. In this series, every clue matters — and every reader becomes the detective.
