The Case of the Missing Treasure by Robin Stevens

4.0

There isn't a single US library listed in World Cat that owns a copy of this book, but I got a copy from Thriftbooks and gleefully looked forward to reading it. Even though it is very small and short, this novella is delightful, and it wasn't a problem at all that I haven't had the opportunity yet to read the book that precedes it, since Robin Stevens never spoils her stories retrospectively. This was so good, and I'm glad that I got to curl up and enjoy the inventive and surprising mystery story, amusing character interplay, and well-researched glimpse into what the British Museum was like in the 1930s. This short mystery is thoroughly enjoyable for fans of the series, and it could work as an entry point if someone unfamiliar with the books stumbled across it.
