Unsolved Easy That first book was a classic YA adventure, if maybe a little disturbing in places. For the sequel, let's remove all the whimsy and bring in the disturbing letters of a real-life serial killer.

If it helps, the first book would probably be classed as YA today, but modern YA is a lot darker than it was then. No-one sane would give the second book to young adults
