Reviews

[Riandi du Toit · Rating 3 out of 5]

An innocent mystery that is ideal for young readers and older readers that are young at heart. No explicit murder, no swearing, no grave injuries and even the bad guys are not all bad. The plot is straight forward and older readers will see all the plot twists coming from a mile away. I liked the accents of the lower class depicted and that the little boy with the dissability was the ultimate hero at the end of the day.
