Lindy Langley thinks that she was born in California , but she’s not sure because all records of her birth were lost when her parents, Logan & Lily, were killed by a hippopotamus while on an African safari when Lindy was only 2 years old. Lindy had no other family, so she was immediately send to the Holy Sisters Orphanage, where she lived until she was 20 years old.
Life at the Holy Sisters Orphanage was happy but sheltered – the only television shows that the nuns ever allowed Lindy to watch were reruns of “I Love Lucy” and “Leave it to Beaver”. The orphans also weren’t allowed to eat sweets, listen to rock music, or read “dirty” books. Despite her hardships, Lindy was a happy go lucky child who loved to sneak into the orphanage kitchen and eat handfuls of sugar directly from the box.
When Lindy was 20 years old, she discovered an old newspaper clipping about her parents’ death – although the official report had listed the cause of death as “hippopotamus impalement”, no hippopotamus teeth sized holes were found anywhere on the bodies. Sensing that there was more to the story of her parents’ death, Lindy made it her life goal to discover exactly what had happened on that ill-fated safari.
For a few years, Lindy had no luck with her investigation. When she met Jack Stone, though, she knew that she had found a partner who could teach her everything that she needed to know about being a detective! Together Jack & Lindy formed the “Get A Clue Detective Agency”. Lindy hopes that someday soon she will learn enough about being a detective to solve all of life’s really big mysteries.
