This book was a gift from my little sister and I actually enjoyed it was more than I expected.

Jag vill gärna ge den här högre betyg, för jag uppskattar verkligen både karaktärer och miljö. Extra mycket tycker jag om det faktum att det är en barnbok, men att den inte väjer för hemskheter (som 1800-talets Stockholm förmodligen bestod av i ganska hög utsträckning).
För mig faller det dock på dispositionen. Mysteriet finns med från början, men allt i form av "utredningsarbete" och slutledningsförmåga ryms inom ett par korta sidor mot slutet, istället för att spridas ut och byggas på gradvis. Dessutom börjar man redan mot mitten ana Rundberg ambition att göra en serie, och förstår därmed att han inte tänker förklara allt i denna, första bok. Det gör hela upplevelsen lite avhuggen, ofullständig.
Synd.
(Men jag har ändå tankat ned den på 12-åringens telefon i förhoppningen att hon ska fångas.)

I listened to this book to complete a challenge but I thought it was good for a middle grade book.

Mistério, investigação, amizades absolutamente inesperadas, e uma garota muito inteligente são os ingredientes desta narrativa muito envolvente, que me prendeu do começo ao fim. Bom demais.
