The Case of the Diamonds in the Desk

(4) 1-3 Milo & Jazz Mysteries series. Illustrated by Amy Wummer. It's another boring day at school--until Milo finds a diamond necklace in his desk. He's sure it's from a jewelry heist he read about, but Jazz reminds him not to jump to conclusions. Using deductive reasoning, they work backwards to solve the mystery. It's a slight but pleasing story; appended riddles and puzzles will further entice young wannabe sleuths.
