Dead on Target

The clues felt so cleverly placed, making the mystery engaging without feeling forced. I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Their teamwork and determination made the story really come alive. It’s rare for me to care so much about middle-grade detectives—anyone else feel the same?

I loved the action scenes, but some parts seemed to drag a bit. Was that intentional to build suspense or just the way the story unfolded?
