"All the Wrong Questions: Who Could That Be at This Hour?," By Lemony Snicket

Who Could That Be at This Hour? is not only the title of the first book in Lemony Snicket's new series, All The Wrong Questions, but one of many questions that Snicket asks in his escapades while apprenticing as a detective. Theodora is the detective he is shadowing, even though she is far from being the best detective herself.

However, Snicket does his best to put the pieces together in a blooming mystery in the town of Stain'd by the Sea. This is not a normal town; with octopi producing ink and seaweed swaying in the wind, rather than the water. You see, Stain'd by the Sea was once underwater, but now that the water has gone, many of the sea characteristics have remained. This budding detective is also presented with an abnormal mystery. A wooden statue, known as the Bombinating Beast, has gone missing and it is not clear why so many people want it, where it has gone, and why it is so important.Snicket finds himself in a tearoom with machines churning, discovers a questionable friendship in a girl named Ellington, and finds solace from the murky mess in the library with the help of a leather clad librarian.

Lemony Snicket asks a lot of question, many that are left unanswered, but if you're asking yourself whether or not you should take the time to read this book, there is no doubt that the answer is "yes!" This book will keep you on the edge of your seat with the unknown, put a smile on your face with the the quirky friendships, and leave you wondering when the next book will come out. Hopefully, soon!
