Best friends Kim and Kelly love mysteries and it shows: just look at their favorite fictional detectives like Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes. But a weekend with their parents at a peculiar resort which specializes in staging murder mysteries for the guests to solve takes a turn for the worse when the girls discover an actual murder has occurred.


Who are the actors in the staged murder and who is the real killer? Why do some of the faces look so familiar? How does this tie in with the strange couple seen snooping around Kim's' neighbor's house earlier this week?


With their sights set on solving the case, Kim and Kelly place themselves in real danger as they draw closer to the truth. Now they have three days to solve the murder, or become victims themselves.

Industry Reviews

"... A mystery and an adventure that has a G-Rating. What appeals to me most is that my nine-year-old son loves her books and can't wait for more to come out. This series is like Nancy Drew meets Agatha Christie."

-Kim Klien, Littlestown, PA


"...Perkins bring[s] back the essence of classic teen sleuth mysteries with her Kim and Kelly mystery series. How special this first book is... our junior detectives are young ladies of color. We need this more than ever in a culturally divided world. Fantasies are Murder had me feeling like Carolyn Keene meets R.L. Stine with a lesser horror element and a more pure-mystery feel. There is a smart and savvy twist... the YA targeted audience... can take a fun ride with."

-R. Van Horn, Jr, author Revolution Calling


"Perkins... has cleverly penned a murder mystery that is not too graphic or violent, yet offers the mystery and suspense that is a must. I see this read appealing to youth as young as eight up to the teen that loves a good mystery. As a parent, I am pleased at the wholesome entertainment this novel offers."
