This was such a fun Scooby-Doo esque novel featuring a group of best friends and their dog, solving small town mysteries. "Meddling Kids" picks up fifteen years after the group solved their finally mystery. All of their lives have taken a turn and they are each struggling with their own demons. They decide now is the time to finally venture back to their old stomping ground and revisit the last mystery to finally get to the bottom of what was happening so long ago.
This was a really fun adult-take on the Scooby-Doo story. I loved seeing how all the characters were struggling, but they came together because their friendship was so strong. I also really enjoyed seeing how educated they became, and how their knowledge really expedited solving the strange case they found themselves trapped in. There is a bit of a mystical, horror element to this story, and it really helped the atmosphere of the book feel spooky. Overall, this was a fun read that I definitely recommend you pick up in October!
