Closed for the Season, by Mary Downing Hahn
"What happened in our house?" Logan asks his new next door neighbor Arthur. "Mrs. Donaldson died there... She was murdered." That's not exactly the news 13 year-old Logan wants to hear about the house he just moved into with his family. Arthur's grandmother thinks Mrs. Donaldson knew someone was stealing money from the Magic Forest Amusement Park, which was shut down soon after she died. Arthur and Logan search the house, the small Maryland town, and the creepy overgrown park to find the money...and the murderer. Great mystery read for grades 4 and up.
