The Boy Detective Fails by Joe MenoCall Number: FIC MEN
Famed boy detective, Billy Argo, was unable to solve the one mystery that really mattered to him: why his beloved sister, Caroline, committed suicide at age 16. Ten years later, Billy is now a troubled adult, and the once-great detective must learn to face the world and accept the uncertainties of life. A beautiful, melancholy novel that uses character types familiar to anyone who grew up reading Encyclopedia Brown or Nancy Drew to tell a profound story about loss, loneliness, and the human spirit.
