Sisters Nik and Norva would agree that they are slightly obsessed with murder mystery series on the television so, when a body is discovered in their block of flats, they are sure they are the right people to discover the truth. Balancing jokey dialogue and insights into the reality of city life, Sharna Jackson has written a very likeable, fast-paced book.

I love crime books. I'm over the moon to see books starring the 11-year-old I also wanted to be. Bring on the bodies! - Patrice Lawrence
