Bookroo's summary

Olivia Sharp isn't your typical detective. While her cousin Nate solves mysteries, Olivia delves into the secrets beneath the surface to help her friends. With her unique flair and determination, Olivia tackles challenges that test her wit and resourcefulness. Can she uncover the hidden truths and bring peace to those around her? Dive into a world where every problem has a deeper story waiting to be revealed.

From the publisher

“I, Nate the Great, have something to say. My cousin Olivia Sharp is almost (but not quite) the world’s best detective. I solve mysteries. She’s an agent for secrets. You won’t forget Olivia. She won’t let you.” Olivia sharp is back! Rather than solve mysteries like her cousin Nate, Olivia helps friends with their problems by detecting what’s wrong beneath the surface. You’ll be won over by Olivia’s spunk, eccentricities, and can-do spirit.
