MY REVIEW

This is the first paperback about the Diamond Brothers Detectives that I read. I found it really funny, written with a great sense of humour.

Nick’s brother Tim is the world’s worst detective.

I found it really funny how Tim and Nick get simple words mixed up, and have to be corrected about the true meaning.

Tim is the only person who his younger brother knows that could finish an Agatha Christie novel and still not know who did it.

Jane Nightingale claims her father has gone missing and wants Tim and Nick to find him.

When Tim and Nick are looking for clues in Jane’s father house, they both run into a bit of trouble and have to hide, from some guys with guns, that got into Janes father’s house who are looking for a powerful device that plugs in a computer. Can Tim and Nick find Jane Nightingales father? What I didn’t expect was a little twist in the story.

The author Anthony Horowitz, is very kind hearted, as all the royalties from this book are going to charity Suffolk Home Start that supports children and families across the country.

Where Segulls Dare began as an entertainment during lockdown, with so many children stuck at home, he thought he would write something to cheer them up. He posted the first seven chapters free on his website.

I would like to thank Walker Books for sending me this paperback to read and review.
