The Agathas

An Agathas Mystery #1 / 3
by Kathleen Glasgow, Liz Lawson
The Agathas (An Agathas Mystery #1) by Kathleen Glasgow, Liz Lawson
Unrated

Welcome to Castle Cove — a town cursed with missing girls,
bad boyfriends, family secrets,
and some very steep cliffs.

Last summer, Alice Ogilvie's basketball-star boyfriend, Steve, dumped her. Then she disappeared for five days. Where she went and what happened to her is the biggest mystery in Castle Cove. Or at least it was. Because now, another one of Steve's girlfriends has vanished: Brooke Donovan, Alice's ex-best friend. And it doesn't look like Brooke will be coming back ...

Enter Iris Adams, Alice's tutor. Iris has her own reasons for wanting to disappear, though unlike Alice, she doesn't have the money or the means. That could be changed by the hefty reward Brooke's family is offering. The police are convinced Steve is the culprit, but Alice isn't so sure, and with Iris on her side, she just might be able to prove her theory.

Luckily, Alice has exactly what they need to crack the case — the complete works of Agatha Christie. If there's anyone who can teach the girls how to solve a mystery, it's the master herself. But the town of Castle Cove holds many secrets, and Alice and Iris have no idea how much danger they're about to walk into ...

Her debut novel, Girl in Pieces, broke ground with its heart-wrenching portrayal of Charlotte, a young girl battling the scars of her past while attempting to reclaim her future. The book’s success established Glasgow as a powerful new voice in young adult fiction, capable of tackling tough subjects like self-harm, mental health, and finding one's voice in the aftermath of trauma.

Kathleen’s writing is driven by empathy and a fierce desire to understand the full spectrum of human experience. Whether her characters are struggling with grief, self-doubt, or a desire to belong, they are always portrayed with compassion and understanding. Her books are not just stories—they are lifelines for readers who see themselves reflected in the characters’ journeys toward healing.

With each new release, Glasgow continues to carve out a space where readers feel understood and seen. Her work reminds us all that healing is never linear, but it is always possible. Through her writing, Kathleen creates not just books, but safe spaces for people to confront their own pain and find hope for the future.

Kathleen currently resides in Tucson, Arizona, where she is hard at work on her next project. When not writing, she can often be found reading, volunteering, or connecting with her community—always with a deep respect for the emotional stories that shape us all.

An Agathas Mystery

In An Agathas Mystery, co-authors Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson bring a fresh and gripping twist to the world of amateur sleuths and small-town intrigue. Set in a town where nothing is as simple as it seems, this series centers on two unlikely investigators—two teens drawn together by a shared love of mystery and a desperate need to uncover the truth.

The first book introduces readers to two very different girls, each grappling with their own personal struggles but united by their fascination with the great Agatha Christie. With their friendship as the cornerstone of the series, the duo embarks on their own investigation after a local crime shakes their world. As they dig deeper, secrets long buried begin to unravel, and the line between right and wrong blurs in unexpected ways.

What makes An Agathas Mystery stand out is the balance of tension and heart, where each mystery isn't just about solving a crime—it’s about discovering who these girls are and what they’re capable of when pushed to their limits. The series masterfully blends suspense with rich, character-driven storytelling, creating a unique atmosphere that keeps readers on edge while offering moments of humor, heartache, and unexpected triumph.

With each new installment, the stakes grow higher, the mysteries more complex, and the bonds of friendship more crucial. The series combines the classic allure of a well-plotted whodunit with the emotional depth of characters who feel as real as the readers themselves. It’s a modern take on the classic mystery genre, blending teen angst, thrilling twists, and plenty of surprises.

For fans of tightly woven mysteries with relatable characters and a strong emotional core, An Agathas Mystery is a series that invites readers to follow the trail of clues—but also to explore the depths of friendship, resilience, and the determination to make things right, no matter the cost.
