As Always - Paperback

It's summer in Paradise Point, a quirky fishing village and artist's haven where nothing exciting ever happens - until Mr. Lewis reads the first of the As Always letters. These gossipy letters call out the uncivilized behavior of Paradise Point's most upstanding citizens, sparking the biggest scandal in recent memory. As the adults are distracted by old rivalries and new rumors, twelve-year-old Carrie and her friends must put their amateur sleuthing skills in action to discover who is writing the letters and why, especially as they hit closer to home. Will they identify the author and stop them before the mysterious author writes one about them? A coming-of-age story set in the 1980s, with all the nostalgia of lazy summer afternoons and kids roaming free, making memories and friendships that last a lifetime, As Always is a captivating southern small-town mystery that readers won't be able to put down.
