Critics Review
“In the grand tradition of Roald Dahl… . A plucky amateur detective, secret passages, exaggerated characters, concealed identities, and dastardly villains equal a swell mystery.” * Kirkus Reviews *
“Original, engaging, and funny…. The writing is beautiful, expertly capturing all the suspense, hope, and love in the story…. A delightful gem that will fly off the shelves.” * School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW) *
“A compelling puzzle, vividly drawn characters, and a clever and capable young detective.” * Booklist (STARRED REVIEW) *
“Packed with the delicious elements—hidden passages, unexplained noises, suspicious servants—of a traditional British mystery, Lawson’s (The Actual and Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher) story, set in 1907 England, will keep readers engagingly puzzled throughout its multilayered twists and tangles….Well thought-out and deftly executed, Lawson’s novel will appeal to a wide audience.” * Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW) *
