I'm not very familiar with young adult mysteries, but I'm sure they exist. There is definitely lots of young adult romance, which would be easy to read. You might also try Janet Evanovich, an author who writes a lot of romance/mystery combinations for adults. They are lighthearted and repetitive---not high literature but definitely contemporary.
Oh, perhaps even more fun would be Ilona Andrew's "Clean Sweep." That's a fantasy mystery with just a tiny bit of romance in it.
