Diamond Brothers #3&6

by Anthony Horowitz

This volume includes; South by Southeast, and I Know What You Did Last Wednesday.


South by Southeast
It looks like Tim, the world’s worst private detective, and Nick, his brainy kid brother, are in trouble again. They’re dead broke. But money is the least of their worries when a mysterious man bursts into their office and offers Tim a wad of cash for his coat. Minutes later, the stranger is dead and Nick and Tim are left to puzzle over his final words. What could he have meant by "suff bee suff-iss"? Or was it "south by southeast"? Neither one seems to make much sense, but the Diamond brothers will have to figure it out, and fast! Whoever killed the stranger is now after Nick and Tim!

I Know What You Did Last Wednesday
When the Diamond Brothers receive an invitation to a school reunion on a remote Scottish island, things seem to be looking up. But Nick's got a bad feeling, and it's not indigestion. And when he meets their fellow guests, the feeling only gets worse - especially when they start dying in ever more bizarre ways!

Reviews

[Frida Hultgren]

Have only read the first of these two and in Swedish. Remember it as being good :)

[Grace Sargeant]

Fantastic.

[Satsuki]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Peter]

This is a rather brutal tale of consecutive homocides. A darker childrens' story, it revolves around a bunch of people being steadily murdered one by one in a remote resort.

[Wendy]

A very smart book, with a surprising logic.
Good written and catching.
I could read this book over and over again!

[Caleb Lee]

I think that in this book, the two brothers and old friends are together and all but hte two detectives are left alive.

[Lina Murphy]

The author has a wonderful sense of humor that kept me reading all the way through. The story is pretty fast paced though.
