The After-School Detective Club is back with a new mystery to solve: a gang of dognappers are snatching dogs off the streets of Southwold and it feels like no pooch is safe, not even their own Sherlock. Added to this, Joe’s mum seems ready to sell their beach hut club room to some really horrible people. Even under threat of losing their headquarters, the kids set out to track down the thieves, and a series of thrilling chases ensue, including one in the sidecar of Captain Tom’s 1965 motorbike The Thunderer!
The appeal of solving crimes with your mates and watching the baddies get their comeuppance is timeless and young readers will thoroughly enjoy the exploits of the After-School Detective Club.
The fourth in a series of gripping adventure stories, perfect for fans of Enid Blyton.
