[Riley Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short stories that really made me laugh. Witty as well.

[John Naylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Two more funny stories about a genius detective and his older brother who has his name on the office door.

At times in these stories there is a joke in every sentence. Most of them are worth at least a chortle too. The plots are varied, the names avoid any potential lawsuits and Tim is still one of the most lovably dense characters in any books.

I definitely recommend the series as a whole to readers of all ages.
