This reminded me of the mini tv series, Harper's Island, but for kids. It's a fun murder mystery book, and the Diamond brothers are quite fun to read about.

I thought that the plot unoriginal as most of it has been borrowed from Agatha Christie's book, "And Then There Were None".
This book felt like the toned down, children's version of that book.

An extremely biased rating since reading this was a trip down memory lane! One of my favourite books as a kid and as an adult I love the Agatha Christie novel that this is based on. Well written and entertaining regardless of age :)

Not quite as good as The Blurred Man but my little boy still enjoyed this lots. Rather gruesome in parts but those were the parts he liked best along with Tim Diamond's idiocy.
Excellent stuff and most certainly the sort of thing to get young boys reading.
