The mystery-solving trio, the One and Onlys, from Finally, Something Mysterious is back with another whodunit. Robot crows, a poetry-slash-wrestling Club, and a hamster infestation? This looks like another case to tackle!
As the excitement from the last mystery the One and Onlys solved is starting to dwindle, Shanks, Peephole, and Paul worry that their town is back to being boring old Bellwood. But as plans for a shiny town makeover get underway, they realize that the "old Bellwood" is anything but.
 
The glee over "New Bellwood" is palpable, and it's hard not to get swept away by the flashy new milkshake joint and other developments that are quickly making their small town unrecognizable. But the One and Onlys can't deny that something nefarious seems to be afoot—especially if the robot crow they stumbled upon is any indication.
 
Strange? Yes. Dangerous? Hopefully! Shanks doesn’t know how these things are connected, but she’s determined to find out—with the help of the One and Onlys.

      Who's ready to sniff out some crime? The One and Onlys--Gloria Longshanks "Shanks" Hill, Alexander "Peephole" Calloway, and Paul (still no nickname) Marconi--return in this sophomore outing. Although technically Peephole isn't an only child since the birth of his baby sister, Trillium, the group name is really good, so they kept it. This time Shanks serves as the narrator, guiding readers through the evolving town of Bellwood, where Mayor Frank Pilkington is aggressively pushing a platform of newness and wants the residents to start patronizing the sleek, national restaurant chains that have been popping up around the city. Along with the restaurants, the town has been experiencing a wave of scents drifting through the air, from the sweet smell of ice cream to the mouthwatering aroma of pizza. But when the denizens start queuing up at their old favorites, the foul odor of sewer pipes frequently sends them running toward the corresponding chain restaurants instead. Who could be responsible for these crimes against mom-and-pop stores? And are they connected to the recently spotted robot crows seen around town? As before, Cornett plays fair with the clues, allowing young sleuths to potentially solve the case ahead of the detectives. A subplot regarding the historically unequal treatment of Black citizens of Bellwood integrates seamlessly into the story, providing readers with some food for thought after the denouement. The central cast reads White; there is racial diversity among supporting characters. A tasty treat for any mystery lover. (Mystery. 8-12)
