Three times lucky (genre of mystery) book #8

Three Times Lucky
     Three times lucky, by Sheila Tubman, has a clear and obvious genre of mystery, which briskly represents the root plot of this book- the process of reuniting with her lost upstream mother, the narrator being Mo.At first, Mo's summer is looking good...but that's before the murder, the car crash, the kidnapping, and the big perplexity.So now, she and her friend, Dale, are setting out to solve the mystery of their lives.

    The first, desperate-to-solve mystery was Mr. Jesse being killed with an oar.The news spread across the town as quick as confetti.And you'll never guess who the prime suspect is...Dale! So Mo opens a bi-detective service with Dale called "Desperado Detectives"to clear Dale's name from the crime suspects. Since Mo lost her mom, Miss Lana and the Colonel give her lots of tender loving care.One day, Mo and Dale are outside having some fun.When they get tired, they go to Mo's house, and the next thing they know-Miss Lana and the Colonel are kidnapped with a note left by the kidnapper(s).Another professional detective stays at Mo's house, and  Mo must stay at Dale's house.Then, Mo gets a ransom call from a runaway outlaw, Slate, that he will give Lana and the Colonel back if Mo gives half a million dollars back from the Colonel's bank account.

     Soon, the Colonel escapes and comes home.Afterward, Mo and Dale riskily break the law by crossing the crime scene tape, but only because Mo has a potent hunch of where Slate is-and she was right.When Mo and Dale got there they attack and reinterpret Slate, and earn credit for 2 murders-Dolph Andrews, and Mr. Jesse, and also for solving a kidnapping case. One day, she finds a bottle(in the creek)- how she attempts to communicate with her upstream mother, but she finds one of her own notes inside, frustrated.
