The Extraordinary and Unusual Adventures of Horatio Lyle by Catherine Webb

5.0

---

Horatio Lyle is a special constable, an inventor extraordinaire and has a passion for science. Asked to investigate the theft of an ancient Chinese plate at Her Majesty’s request. He finds himself sleuthing with an expert thief and a member of high society. Very soon they’re on the tail is a group of strangers who may not even be human ...

Heaps of fun, lots of humour, bagfuls of suspense and a fantastic pace ... it’s like Sherlock Holmes with aliens ....! Can’t wait to read more!
