Sharna Jackson writes children's mysteries centred on Black British protagonists, city life and young people solving crimes adults have missed. High-Rise Mystery introduces sisters Nik and Norva, who investigate a murder in their south-east London tower-block community, while Mic Drop returns to the same setting with another suspicious death. The Good Turn moves to a younger cast and a summer project inspired by Black history and community action. Jackson's books are quick, contemporary and clue-driven, with friendship, family and neighbourhood knowledge forming part of the investigation. They suit middle-grade mystery, Black British children's fiction and urban detective stories for readers of Robin Stevens and Elle McNicoll. Read more Less
