adventurous funny lighthearted mysterious fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Read this as this month's theme for my library's "Crime Bubble" was "Children's crime fiction".
It was a fast paced, enjoyable read. Definitely darker themes to the "Famous Five" I read when a child.
Even though aimed at children I was gripped to find out how it all worked out. Highly recommended if you're an adult and you need a break from very dark crime and want something a bit different to usual "cozy crime"
