I've played that game - 'AI gave me this source - does it exist?'
Nope!
I was lucky - the patron
1) told me he got the resource from AI
2) understood that AI could give false responses

Wow - I absolutely couldn't tell! 'Ouch', 'that back is absolutely georgeous', 'she is absolutely stunning', 'isn't she cold' & 'is she going to wear that for the entire ceremony?' were my first thoughts.

Really -- it was irking me!! 😂
Still, I like my selection...I only read it a year or two ago, and it is still absolutely powerful. So many of the traditional 'classics' don't land as well now.

I'm assuming you know about Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library & Mysterious Benedict Society.
The Mystery of Locked Rooms by Lindsay Currie is a definite read alike.
Also try Candymakers by Wendy Mass - has a neat combination of mystery & spy story set during a candy making competition.
