When dastardly crime goes down, a girl named Bonnie Montgomery slides from view to be replaced by Monsieur Montgomery Bonbon, sleuth extraordinaire! In stories packed with all the smart jokes and groaningly good puns that you'd expect from an award-winning comedian, the great Montgomery Bonbon is soon up to her--I mean his trench-coat collar with clever clues, unreliable witnesses, and suspicious goings-on in this madcap and brilliantly funny debut by Alasdair Beckett-King.
--Thomas Taylor, author of the acclaimed Eerie-on-Sea series
