Sinossi

Join Iris and the Voodoo Shack gang as they investigate a mysterious death and an unsolved crime!  When 11-year-old Iris Weston discovers a ramshackle hunting cabin deep in Hazard Swamp, she and her friends decide it's perfect for a secret clubhouse. The gang dubs it the Voodoo Shack and meets there to swap stories and play card games. Ol' Man Hazard, the former owner, died under mysterious circumstances, and the kids speculate whether it was an accident, suicide or maybe even murder! The gang believes that cash from an unsolved crime may have been stashed within feet of the cabin. Even as things go badly awry, feisty Iris learns how to use her wit and independence to put things right, discovering what family really means in this adventurous and often humorous coming-of-age story set in rural Michigan in 1962.  "Set in the early 1960s, Martin's novel traces a girl's journey toward understanding the true meaning of love, family and friendship. Iris is an appealing character whose relationships with friends and family are realistically portrayed as she struggles to find her place."  --School Library Journal  "Martin has drawn on her childhood memories to create an engaging, feisty heroine, lively supporting characters and an easy-to-visualize early 1960s rural Michigan setting. And, although Iris doesn't solve all her mysteries, she finds the answers to the most important ones in this fast-paced story."  --ALA Booklist  "Readers fond of lightweight mysteries solved by spunky heroines will take to this fiction debut, though a heavy ballast of tragedy and near-tragedy keeps it low to the ground. Some of the dialogue and set pieces show a promising authorial gift for comedy. (Fiction. 10-12)" --Kirkus Reviews  This book was originally released as A Family Trait

    Veronica’s dire warning awoke the pain slut within Ivone. She could take a 
    lot of pain. Oh, not knives or burning, although wax was okay if the Dom 
    knew what he was doing, but if he was good with a single or double tail, 
    she would bleed for him. She’d simply contract that he whip her only on 
    her lower back and buttocks, maybe the tops of her thighs. Those parts 
    she could cover in public with clothing. She wondered for a moment if he 
    shared his submissives with other Doms. She had yet to really give up that 
    part of her. Being handed off at her Dom’s discretion wasn’t something she 
    really wanted to do, although she had done a couple of threesomes, and 
    the sex had been very good, probably because she had been dominated. 
    And if he were a real Dom, he would learn that being shared wasn’t what 
    she really needed. She obediently followed Veronica to where this 
    Jamison Landry was slouched comfortably in a leather club chair. She kept 
    her eyes cast toward the floor, but noticed his thick black hair and 
    forbidding handsomeness. His eyes were hooded and in shadow, and she 
    wondered what color they were. She had the impression of a large, hard 
    body, and now, within view of her downcast eyes, she could see his
