The Clue of the Broken Locket

It’s such a classic prop but also feels personal. I wonder if the author had a particular story or memory that influenced this detail.

The mystery felt accessible but I kept wondering if the clues were meant to be straightforward to keep young readers engaged. What did others think?

Their teamwork and trust seemed to be the real key to solving the mystery. Did anyone else feel like their bond was the most compelling part?
