The characters in The Clue in the Trees first appeared in Enchantment Lake, a northwoods mystery in 2015. Francie returns to Enchantment Lake in The Clue in the Trees looking for answers, only to get dragged into a murder mystery she might not survive. If Francie thinks things have settled down since her previous adventure, she’s in for a surprise. A new school with new friends (and some enemies), a lead role in a play, an encounter with a giant muskie, archaeological twists, secret tunnels, thin ice, and a strangely sticky murder are all coming her way in The Clue in the Trees.
