Looking for two books...

[bellefleur_ami]

I am looking for a couple of books I read in the mid to late 70's. I suppose now they'd possibly be called young adult books. Both were mysteries and possibly could have had mystery in the title. Both were about the same characters, young teenagers, some from one family and some from another plus a couple of extra friends

I'm pretty sure the two books you've described are The Mystery at Fearsome Lake (1960) and Mystery at the Snowed-in Cabin (1961), both by Christine Noble Govan. She wrote a lot of young adult books from the 1930's to the early 70's.

There's a list of her books here:

Hope this helps! I know it's really irritating not to remember the names/authors of something you've read.

Thank you so much for letting me know about this! I'm sure these are the right books. I looked around some more and saw where Emmy West is sometimes listed as co-author for the books. eBay has listings for them but they're a little steep for me right now, maybe after the holiday season I can get a copy of each. I'm just happy to have the correct titles and author. Thanks again.:]
