The First of the Mystery Series

One of my personal favorites are the classic whodunnits, like from the 1920’s, to the 1940’s.

I have a feeling the true villain isn’t going to be anyone on the Isle of the Lost this time. I could be wrong, but it might just be someone who thinks they should be the hero. From what I’ve seen in videos on YouTube, and reading the books, there are some crazy clues to pick up on. But I’m also sad, now Cameron Boyce who played Carl...
