Katie Siegel's Charlotte Illes Is Not a Detective
This is the story of a twenty-five-year-old queer Jewish woman, living at home with her mother, spinning her wheels—except once she was a famous child detective. And now her brother's girlfriend is receiving creepy notes, and she agrees to look into it—but of course is soon drawn into a bigger mystery. And is dealing with her relationships with her two best friends, who she’s sort of been ghosting! I loved the narrative voice here, just really engaging and fun. The mystery was adequate, but that's fine because the characters are where this really shines. Apparently the author is a TikTok person, but I hope this is successful enough that she can write some sequels, because I was really into this. A.
