Main

 * Richard Paige - a well-meaning and confident, but somewhat cocky teenager who founded the detective book club and is determined to solve all sorts of crimes that happen in Prinstleview, but sometimes his ego does tend to get the best of him.
 * Martha Stockley - a nerdy and slightly killjoy teenager who isn't the biggest fan of having fun but is a massive mystery geek, being extremely enthusiastic about being in a detective book club.
 * Michael Coven - a nervous and cautious African-American teenager who was dragged into the detective book club as he often tends to assume the worst of things and prefers the club to be extra careful when it came to solving crimes.
 * Clare Park - a rowdy and overly excited Asian-American teenager who joined the detective book club not because she's really into books, but finds stopping criminals around Prinstleview to be rather fun, though she often gets too rough with the others.

Introduced in First Book

 * Ezekial Prinstle - the snobby and egotistical son of the rich family that descended from the founders of Prinstleview as he sees everyone as bellow him and after initially just stealing the class pet, becomes a recurring nemesis to the Book Club, being both a culprit and a suspect.
