Reviews
"A light, summery read that firmly takes the young reader - of either gender, happily - by the hand, and thrusts them deep into a realistic and perfectly formed mystery."The Bookbag (Full review)
"This good old-fashioned fast-paced mystery uses a well-tried formula, but the exploration of complex family relationships and the addition of animal rights issues bring extra depth and solidity: thought-provoking and a page-turner!"
