I received a gifted copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review as part of the book tour hosted by Lovebookstours.

Sherlock Bones I'd back with his latest puzzle adventure, Sherlock Bones, and the Mystery of the Vanishing Magician. With his trusty sidekick Jane Catson by his side and he needs help from the reader to help solve the case. This book is book 3 in the series and is set in Berlin. When the detectives are watching a magic show and Jane gets up to volunteer for a magic trick, the mystery begins to unfold. The book is interactive and is such a fun way to keep the reader engaged, thinking, and entertained. I did some of the puzzles with my ten year old daughter, and we both really enjoyed them. I love how the puzzles always fit so cleverly into the story and relate to it, too. I can't wait for the next instalment in this genius series!

Again we are back with Sherlock Bones the dashing dog detective and his kitty sidekick Jane Catson, time and time again I enjoy going on an adventure with these two lovable characters!

Our story opens with Bones and Catson watching a magic show in Berlin (where they had spent the last week helping a dog find his golden fetching stick) Catson, is annoyed when Bones keeps spoiling all of the tricks, so she decides to volunteer herself when the magician (The Great Otto) asks for some help on stage.

However, something very strange happens when Catson is on stage and this is where the mystery begins!

Throughout the story there are a variety of puzzles which help to move the plot along. They are all very well thought out, fun and nicely put together. All of the puzzles are story related and provide a fair challenge.

This was an easy 5 stars for me!

This story about Bones and Catson is even better than the last one. This time a big part of it is set in Paris where they take it upon themselves to stop two horrible criminals from stealing the famous "Mona Lemur".

Less mystery and more action than usual.

Sherlock Bones is such a fun read! An engaging and entertaining story with lots of puzzles thrown in. I read this book with my daughter and she was so excited to work out all the puzzles and get involved. She has already asked me to buy her copies of the other books in the series so this has been a big hit.

I received a gifted copy of this novel. This review is my honest opinion and written voluntarily.

The Sherlock bones books are phenomenal and such a great story to delve into! This is perfect for children and adults aswell, who love to get involved with the story and to help the detectives with their case. The element of the puzzles is very original and overall helps me to understand the story and the characters better. Definitely one of my favourite middle grade series! Would highly recommend to anyone of all ages!

I love these books, they are perfectly pitched for both children and adults to enjoy together with an excellent mix of detective story telling and puzzles sprinkled throughout the book.

In ‘The Mystery of the vanishing magician’, Bones & Catson are travelling overnight from Berlin to Paris when they notice that a fellow passenger has vanished into thin air. Working out who has taken him and why leads to a wonderful tale of intrigue and double-crossing criminal masterminds. In typical detective fashion, clues are given but I couldn’t spot them 😂 and read on to find out what the crooks wanted and how they were going to get it. The story is interlaced with 28 different puzzles too, ranging from spot the difference to word search, so if you need a break from crime fighting, there’s lots to choose from!

This is an absolute delight for young readers! This clever and charming story follows Sherlock Bones, a dog detective with a sharp nose for solving mysteries, as he investigates the sudden disappearance of a magician. The engaging plot is filled with fun twists, encouraging kids to think critically and solve the puzzle alongside Sherlock. The vibrant illustrations bring the characters to life, and the humor keeps the story lighthearted and entertaining. Perfect for budding detectives, this book is a fantastic blend of adventure, mystery, and fun! Highly recommended!

Абсотен разкош! Обожавам тази поредица! Тук имаше много вълшебства и мистерии, че дори и Шаро Холмс остана леко в неведение накрая... Добре, че е шестото чувство на Доктор Котсън! Страхона книга и отново голяма забава! Буквално си ходех сама по улиците със слушалки и се превивах от смях... Прекрасна пореца, препоръчвам на всяко дете и възрастен с красиво сърце <3

Another edition with Dr. Jane Catson and Sherlock Bones solving mysteries the world over. This time, the pair find themselves in the middle of an art heist in Paris for the Mona Lemur. I really do enjoy the play on words the author provides throughout this series.
The usual humour and fast pacing interspersed with puzzles to work out that sit alongside the storyline.
A great read for the whole family, where to next detectives?

I liked the book because it has a lot of detective stuff. I liked this book because it is totally like Sherlock Holmes just in a dog. I recommend this book to kids who are 5 to 12 years old. I recommend this book to kids who like Sherlock Holmes.
