The mystery books show 5 volumes from 2020 to 2025. so there is hope.
I had hoped to see a series than a film. A big fan of the Enid Blyton series from childhood, then Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew. Finally graduating with Agatha Christie & Sherlock Holmes.
Today I prefer mysteries over rom com. Again they got to be good. No violence & gore.
All the oldies are cute. Wish they have a series next time.
