Super-sleuths everywhere will be gripped by the clever tricks and tactics of Montgomery Bonbon, a well dressed detective who, with his moustache and beret, looks quite like the man he pretends to be but also suspiciously like the ten year old girl known as Bonnie Montgomery!
Whoever she is, it is huge fun to follow Montgomery Bonbon as she sleuths her way through unusual situations and spots the answers to some very puzzling mysteries! This time she is in the Hornville Museum and there is a mysterious death to investigate!
A brilliantly funny young murder mystery from a rising stand-up comedian, podcaster and filmmaker - and exciting new talent in children's fiction.
Read the full description
Many people go their whole lives without noticing anything that is afoot, amiss, or even untoward; without ever experiencing that toe-tingling, stomach-twisting sensation that a mystery is about to unfold.
Not Bonnie Montgomery - the world's best detective. Not that anyone (other than Grampa Banks) has heard of her... But they might have heard of the great Montgomery Bonbon, the well-dressed gentleman detective who (apart from the hat and moustache) looks suspiciously like a 10-year-old girl.
Their newest case: solving the mystery surrounding a highly suspicious death at the Hornville Museum. Together they'll interview some dodgy witnesses, scour the scene for clues and - above all - hope no one notices that Bonnie and Montgomery are never in the same room at the same time...
Enormous fun - Montgomery Bonbon is my new favourite detective! -- Katherine Woodfine
