The Mystery Of The Hasty Arrow 

A little girl is brutally murdered by an arrow while visiting a museum. The victim is discovered cuddled close to an elderly lady who is in shock. The girl's murder is a mystery, but Mr. Gryce, a clever investigator, is determined to solve it. He disentangles the convoluted web of who had a reason to commit the crime and why by thorough research, which includes questioning suspects and following leads. This book is a gripping read with plenty of heart-stopping twists and turns. One of the museum staff members hurries down the stairs calling for everyone to remain inside since there has been an accident at the start of the narrative. As the crowd assembles, they are met with a startling scene in the gallery where the tragedy occurred, leaving them with an imprint they won't soon forget.
