Hunting ghosts and solving the case before checkout? All in a weekend's work.

Listen to the novel that New York Times best-selling author Chris Grabenstein calls, "My kind of mystery!"

When JJ Jacobson convinced his mom to accept a surprise invitation to an all-expenses-paid weekend getaway at the illustrious Barclay Hotel, he never imagined that he'd find himself in the midst of a murder mystery. He thought he was in for a run-of-the-mill weekend ghost hunting at the most haunted spot in town, but when he arrives at the Barclay Hotel and his mother is blamed for the hotel owner's death, he realizes his weekend is going to be anything but ordinary.

Now, with the help of his new friends, Penny and Emma, JJ has to track down a killer, clear his mother's name, and maybe even meet a ghost or two along the way.

Amazing book!

Amazing book!
I finished this yesterday. When I picked it up I was at 44%. I finished the rest in 1 sitting lol I absolutely loved it! This is a PERFECT October read!! We have a murder mystery, a creepy hotel, & ghosts! The book begins setting up the story for the reader. Different “suspects” all get an invitation to a free weekend at the hotel. They each have a secret to hide-as does pretty much everyone in the story besides the detective lol once they get there, they learn of the murder of the owner & how he thought the guests each could be a suspect if something happened to him. So the weekend turns into a “Clue” like event. The guests task is to figure out who among them is the killer. Then the chapters alternate b/n the 3 kids-1 is a suspects son, 1 is the detectives granddaughter, & the other lives at the hotel. They set off to figure out who the killer is themselves, while also doing some ghost hunting on the side. I loved these kids & the friendship they created. They all helped each other so much-seeing as all 3 also had secrets of their own as well. I never saw the twist coming, nor how some of the things ended up. I absolutely loved this book. Such an absolutely beautiful cover & illustrations throughout too!😍😍Highly recommend!!💜💜

There is nothing better than a good mystery to take you on an adventure you will never forget. From the time I was a kid, I was intrigued with any story that kept me in suspense. I spent 40 years in the classroom working to inspire students with the love of reading. I read and prepared anything I thought they would read! I bought this book for my granddaughter and wanted to read it first. The entire time I was reading it, I thought about ways this book would work for any reader, but particularly a reluctant reader. Bradley definitely hit the mark with this book. She grabs you from the bginning. The chapters are short and the ending of each one makes you want to keep reading. Everybody has a secret. People lie to protect themsevles. The idea of ghosts has been of interest and intrigue for ages. The kids are fun and have realistic characteristics of any kid in the 11-12 age group. They learn to work together as a team, which is something everyone needs to learn to do. The hotel is supposed to be haunted and even though there is a murder mystery to be solved, there is nothing inappropriate for young readers. I loved Brandly's use of parentheses in this book! What a fantastic way to explain facts and feelings.

Midnight at the Barclay Hotel is murder mystery for middle-grade readers. Before you think that a murder mystery isn't appropriate for middle graders, don't worry. There's no gratuitous violence. And, really, how many of use started reading Agatha Christie when we were 12 or 13?

J.J. Jacobson is obsessed with ghosts. When his mother receives an invitation to a deluxe weekend at the famous (infamous?) Barclay Hotel, he begs to go along. After all, the hotel is rumored to be one of the most haunted places in all of Colorado. It's a perfect chance for him to use his ghost-hunting equipment to prove that ghosts exist.

Penny's grandfather, Detective Walker (retired), is also invited. She convinces him to accept the invitation and take her along for the adventure. She doesn't believe in ghosts.

Emma lives at the Barclay. She can't wait for all the visitors to arrive. She's even more excited when two kids around her own age show up.

The three children are soon embroiled in a hunt for a murderer. Hijinks ensue, and twist and turns abound. Adults may anticipate a few of the twists, but most kids will be taken by surprise. In either case, this is a fun read with just enough scary moments to satisfy everyone.

I absolutely loved reading MIDNIGHT AT THE BARCLAY HOTEL! I am an avid Agatha Christie fan and this book was an ode to Agatha Christie mysteries told for a young middle grade audience. I love the premise of a murder mystery set in a secluded place - in this case at the spooky Barclay Hotel - where all the suspects are in that location. A great premise for a whodunnit that makes you guessing as the reader as well! Apart from a great set up, the author introduces wonderful characters in the protagonists JJ (amateur ghost hunter), Penny (avid reader), and Emma (resides in Barclay hotel)! Plus the supporting cast of characters from a librarian, former detective, a cowboy, and a young actress makes for a page-turning, full of fun mystery! I highly recommend this book for all middle graders and especially those falling in love with mystery novels!

As an adult who loves a good mystery and murder, how my younger self would have loved books like Midnight at the Barclay Hotel by Fleur Bradley. One doesn’t often find such a fun, Agatha Christie-like novel for the tween reader.

And what reader wouldn’t enjoy a book filled with engaging characters and secrets galore that takes place in a haunted house? What avid reader wouldn’t appreciate the library scenes and that reading and the ability to do research help unravel the mysteries of the Barclay Hotel?

If your motive is to have an enjoyable reading experience, then you have means and opportunity with this book.

I'm an adult who loves middle grade books. I've been in a reading slump lately, though, and earlier this week I started and abandoned five different books. This engaging and slightly spooky mystery broke me out of my slump. The action is plentiful, the timing is perfect, the characters are likeable, and the story is all around of the best mysteries I've read.

Hi to anyone who is reading this. I'm from India I saw this book while trolling on the Internet . It seemed pretty good. So I ordered it and I liked the book so much that I completed the first three parts in one day and then the last one on the next day. 😂
