I wanted to visit that mansion so badly! I loved this book growing up, but you’re totally spot on about the weirdness with the non-BSC characters’ stories. I mean, maybe Dorothy really thought she needed to run away without telling anyone to get away with it, but maybe she could have sent Will and Pops a postcard once she got to Paris. Geez.

I have read this one but I have no recollection of it and you would think this would be the sort of thing I would remember.

This. x1000
It also bothers me how this kind of wtf-ery is typical for the Mysteries series.

I only like this book for the haunted house aspect. The Dorothy/Will storyline weirded me out as a kid and still does. They’re both so messed up–Dorothy because she let those who loved her believed she was dead and Will because he’s lived at his ex-fiancee’s house for so many years. He could have left town, started a new life for himself, but he chose to remain in Stoneybrook. Did he think Dorothy might come back someday? Pt. 2: Will snaps and kills Dorothy and buries her in the backyard after she shows up at his doorstep saying “surprise hahaha I was alive the whole time isn’t it grand?”

I liked this book as a kid b/c of the idea of being in a haunted house for the night but now that I look back it’s pretty odd. Making your fiance/family think you were dead. Also found it kind of weird that she still lived in Sbrook.
