Holly really likes to help people--whether it is to tutor them or to take time off from her free time to help someone. When she was asked to help and sort coats-of course she agreed and got her boyfriend Wade and another friend to help as well. While sorting through the coats Holly found a pill bottle with no label in a pocket of one of them. Holly was worried that someone needed help--she remembered that her Mom could have used help with addiction before she was murdered. Her boyfriend convinced her to at least tell Bridget what she was doing--just in case she got in trouble!
It wasn't easy tracking down the person who had donated that particular coat but Holly persisted. With the help of the adults she knew she did eventually track the person down.
Sometimes arch enemies can become friends!
This is a book which can be read by tweens and adults--both will enjoy! I personally love that this series reminds me of the Nancy Drew Mystery series that I loved so many years ago!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
A review from the first book in the series, Holly and The Framed Friend: “If you grew up reading and loving Nancy Drew books, as I did, you will love this book. It brought me back to the days of childhood when I loved to curl up with Nancy and her friends as they solved mysteries… This is definitely a YA book for tween-agers, but the story is so delightful an adult is likely to find pleasure in reading it and remembering those years in the past when Nancy Drew was their favorite character. Kudos to Dianne Harman for creating this fun remembrance.”
This, the second book in the series, finds Holly and Wade trying to find the person who left a bottle of drugs in a coat they donated to the church. When Holly realizes that someone has scraped the prescription information off of the bottle, she’s concerned the person may be taking drugs.
It brings back memories of her mother and her drug addiction. Holly’s determined to find the person and reach out, wondering if her life would have been different if someone had reached out to her mother.
If you loved Nancy Drew, you don’t want to miss the second book in the Holly Lewis series by two-time USA Today Bestselling Author, Dianne Harman.

I have not read any Nancy Drew books, when I was young the books I read were the Bobseine Twins.
I loved Nancy Drew and I'm enjoying this series.
I read many mystery series as a child: Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Cherry Ames, and when I was 10 or so, I started reading Agatha Christie novels. I love to discover different mystery series.

I haven't read the nancy drew series actually, I heard they made it into a game though, saw some gameplay.
I liked the show , but never read the series.
didn't read it
Interestingly enough, when I left home to get married, my mother tried to donate my collection of Nancy Drew books and the library wouldn't accept them. Said they weren't real literature, so she threw them away. Fortunately, the times have changed.
Good luck with the giveaway!
I have never read Nancy Drew actually. Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to reading :) Happy almost-summertime :)
I've only read the odd Nancy Drew mystery. But I do enjoy a good mystery book like Dianne Harman's!
My daughter and I read a lot of Nancy drew books haven't had the chance yet to read these but hopefully will over the summer.
