Will Agatha finally solve her mom's case?
Agatha Oddlow
This time, Agatha finally gets her first case with the Gatekeeper's Guild, and it may yield far more clues than what Agatha is hoping to find. Agatha is so happy to have her first real case with the organization that she starts on it immediately with her new partner. I have to say that Agatha may have a crush on her new partner, but it also seems like she does with Liam as well. Agatha has definitely grown up since her first case, and I do miss her detective agency at the school.
No matter if Agatha may or may not have a crush on her new guild partner, she still ends up solving the case, much to anyone's dismay.
The Mystery
An assistant at the National Art Gallery goes missing, and the guild puts together two people who have far too many things in common. Well, except for maybe trying to solve the case correctly. Her partner seems like he wants to cut corners. Anyways, Agatha uncovers clues that solve many things for Agatha and effectively looks like ending the series.
I wasn't expecting anything that went down, but I am happy that it concluded with a happy ending.
Five Stars
I am giving five stars to The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones and recommending it to all. Agatha Oddlow is an excellent series for any child itching to read a mystery that even a parent would love. Sure, Agatha skipping school isn't a great role model, but her wanting to solve cases does. Ms. Jones does a great job of writing this series, and I'm hoping that this isn't the last of Agatha Oddlow. Except if it is, then I'm glad she figured out the overarching mystery.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of The Silver Serpent by Lena Jones.
Until the next time,
Karen the Baroness

If you have not already read the first two books in the Agatha Oddly series — The Secret Key and Murder at the Museum — then you should definitely read them first before reading on below.
Thirteen-year-old Agatha Oddly is the youngest and newest recruit to the gatekeeper’s guild. And she’s got a lot to prove. So, when Agatha is put on the case of a missing National Gallery assistant, she jumps at the chance. With the help of a new partner, Agatha discovers a plot bigger than just a missing person.
The first two books of the Agatha Oddly series really knocked my socks off. I loved everything about them. The same can almost be said of The Silver Serpent.
All the things I love about the other books are back. Agatha is inquisitive, daring and flawed. Her friends are interesting and supportive. You get to travel the roads of London. There’s mystery. There’s adventure. The writing is fast-paced and overall enjoyable to read.
My “almost” comes with the conclusion to The Silver Serpent, which seemed a bit too convenient and too rushed. Author Lena Jones is actually team of new writers, who work collaboratively. Here is where they seem to have slightly lost their way. The Silver Serpent brings the series to a nice conclusion, but it left me with lots of unanswered questions.
Will my quibbles keep me from recommending The Silver Serpent?
No.
This is an exciting series that is just too much fun not to recommend.

Our daughter, who has a wide interest in art and culture quite appreciated the little pieces of information about well known artists and their work. And now she can't wait to visit the National Gallery again. Let’s hope the series continues.
