Twelve mysteries. Twelve authors. One challenge: can YOU solve the crimes before the heroes of the stories? These are twelve brand-new short stories from twelve of the best children's crime writers writing today. These creepy, hilarious, brain-boggling, heart-pounding mysteries feature daring, brilliant young detectives, and this anthology is a must for fans of crime fiction and detection, especially the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries, The Roman Mysteries and The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow.

A brilliant collection of short stories by some of the best crime writers for children. This will keep you going as you wait for their next book to be published. ( )

A great mix of stories of mystery and mayhem for children.
They are in turn mysterious and thought provoking.
The authors are unknown to me, but I would but them on a par with Agatha Christie albeit toned down for children.
My favourite story is "Dazzle, Dog Biscuits and Disaster" by Kate Pankhurst.
Adults will also enjoy these 12 stories.
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Egmont via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review. ( )
