Charlotte Illes Is Not A Detective

The TikTok sensation makes her debut in this one of a kind new series, the perfect feel-good mystery for fans of Elle Cosimano, Janet Evanovich and Richard Osman

The downside about being a famous child detective is that sooner or later, you have to grow up . . .

As a kid, Charlotte Illes' uncanny sleuthing abilities made her a minor celebrity. Eventually she hung up her detective's hat and stashed away the signature blue landline in her "office" - aka garage.

But now 25, Charlotte has a nagging fear that she hit her peak in adolescence. She's living with her mother, scrolling through job listings, and her love life consists mostly of first dates.

And then, her old blue phone rings...

Reluctantly, Charlotte is pulled back into the world of crime-solving - just one more time. But that world is a whole lot more complicated for an adult. Now she's dealing with dead bodies, missing persons, and villains who actually see her as a viable threat. And the detective skills she was once so eager to never use again are the only things that can stop a killer ready to make sure her next retirement is permanent.
