The psycho who has been tracking Nick Caden thinks Nick is dead. But Dad isn’t taking any chances, so he ships Nick off to upstate New York to stay with Izzy Canon, a family friend. There Nick lands in another murder mystery. A 32-year-old jogger has been ripped apart, and rumors of a werewolf abound. So Nick dons his detective hat to sleuth out the perpetrator. But who can he trust? Even though the supercute Millie Canon, another ninth-grader, offers help, Nick still feels as though someone or something is hunting him.
In Monster Mysteries (formerly The Caden Chronicles) Book 4, Eddie Jones continues the adventures of Nick Caden. Once again, the action is great, the mystery keeps you guessing, and Nick is a fun, if somewhat nerdy, character to take an adventure with. Rumor of a Werewolf is a nice read for students and mystery lovers of all ages.
