My niece enjoys reading Enid Blyton but I'd like to get her some more modern authors. She has asked specifically for mystery books.

The Trouble with Wenlocks: A Stanley Wells Mystery by Joel Stewart
Stanley Wells is a very ordinary boy. But one day he finds himself caught up in a very strange adventure. He meets the mysterious Dr Moon and his canine companion Morcambe - and encounters the terrifying effects of a Wenlock. After being thrown from a train, he realises he's just going to have to get on with things and somehow unravel the mystery of Sorrows, Wenlocks, the blank-faced children he sees all around him . . . and the captivating Umiko.
A truly original work, filled with fascinating characters and strange happenings, from this unique talent. Features Joel's original artwork on every spread.
I quote from www.rbooks.co.uk but I know a 7 year old who loves this book.

I have to say i go with the majority on this and would recommend Nancy Drew, or Secret Seven or Famous five to stick with Enid Blyton unless she has already read those if not go to the book shop and ask a sales assistant what they would recommend mystery wise.

Definitely go for Nancy Drew. I also used to love the Hardy Boys, which are just like Nancy Drews but about brothers instead of girls. I started reading them at about 7.
So great to hear about a child who enjoys reading.

Well, there's a series of mysteries called Cam Jenson. There's a variety of books in the series, and i think a seven year old who likes mysteries would really like them.

I remember reading a book called Beaver Towers when I was that age. I really liked it, even though it sounds less mature than it is...
Nancy Drew is quite good isn't she? Could she get into Harry Potter books?

Did you ever hear of Nancy Drew?
How about the Box Car Kids?
Both of these would be appropriate for your niece
