    I’m reading the book Jigsaw Jones Mystery The Case of the Vanishing Painting. There is not really a mystery in the story just yet just strangeness and spying. Helen and Mila think Ms. Nicks is strange and they are spying on. Helen and Mila are the main detectives. Ms. Nicks is the only suspect. But there aren’t any clues just yet in the story.

    In Harry Potter the Goblet of Fire (the 4th book) an annoying, lying newspaper reporter named Rita Skeeter is banned from the school Harry goes to called, Hogwarts but somehow Rita the annoying cow is listening to very private conversations. She wrote down and knew somehow that Harry’s scar hurt. She also learned illegally Hagrid, Harry’s friend was a half giant. And she learned that Harry spends time with Hermione and a boy named Krum likes Hermione. Either she thought Harry liked Hermione or teased them both by reporting Harry likes Hermione but in a much crueler way.
    How did Rita know?
    Later in the end they found out and if you read closely in the 4th book you may see that a beetle is always involved . When the situation about Hagrid there is a part about Harry staring at a beetle. In the situation about Krum, Krum notices there is a beetle in Hermione’s hair just after Krum asked Hermione over for the summer. And when Harry’s scar pained him a mean boy named Draco Malfoy had something in his hand which was the beetle and Draco saw Harry and told the beetle what happened. The beetle is Rita and Rita is Anamargus which is an animal.
