Aria and Liam are back with another standalone adventure aimed at 8-12 years old!

This time, the pair find themselves in 1900s London, England teaming up with  Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's daughter to take the job of solving a massively important mystery...

What happened to Sir Arthur?

I love Coline's books for children, and they are a fun read as an adult as they are enticing and draw the reader in.

I also adore the format of the book - gorgeous cover artwork, nice clear font, and font size, coupled with some beautiful illustrations, make for an eye-catching read!

If the illustrations look that great as black and white, I can only imagine what they would look like in colour in a paperback!

Aria and Liam are great characters that a child can relate to, and as an adult, I love seeing how they learn things during their story and grow as characters too.

This is a lovely story, and as Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourite classics, this was an extra special read for me!

We have mystery and suspense with a dash of thriller in there - a great combination ❤️. 

High recommend for all children and adults alike!
