There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer:
- She always tells the truth.
- Sheâs loving spending her summer on Marble Island, where she is an A+ mystery-solver.
- Okay, maybe she doesnât always tell the truth.
- ActuallyâĻshe has a tendency to lie quite a bit.
Which is why, when one of the guests at her grandmotherâs bed-and-breakfast finds that their treasured pair of binoculars has gone missing, no one believes Harriet when she said she had nothing to do with it. But this is one time Harriet isnât lyingâand she knows that if she can find the binoculars and figure out who really took them, she can prove it.Â
With her cat, Matzo Ball, her grandmotherâs basset hound, Moneypenny, and Harrietâs new friend, Clarence, helping her out, Harriet knows she can crack the case. But when the culprit isnât who Harriet expects, itâs up to her to decide how important the truth really is.
