Where were you on the night in question?

The Agatha Christie-obsessed teen detectives are back in the sequel to The Agathas, THE NIGHT IN QUESTION from @misskathleenglasgow and @lzlwsn 🤯

Two months after Alice and Iris solved the murder of Brooke Donovan, Steve Anderson has become a semi-celebrity; Iris Adams and Cole Fielding are almost dating; and Alice Ogilvie is bored out of her brain.

Reluctantly attending the school dance at Levy Castle, Alice sneaks away from the party to do some snooping while Iris gets close to Cole. But when she pushes open the door to what was once Charles Levy’s study, she quite literally falls onto her next case...

Proofs are available 👀
