MONTGOMERY BONBON MYSTERY AT THE MANOR BY ALASDAIR BECKETT-KING
BONNIE MONTGOMERY IS THE WORLD’S GREATEST DETECTIVE. Making deliveries isn’t unusually the business of super sleuths, but Montgomery Bonbon will make one exception, delivering a priceless diamond into the hands of a retired thief by the name of Fergus Croke. Quelle intrigue! But it’s not long before Croke croaks and every one of his slippery apprentices is a suspect.
MY REVIEW
I have read all the series and loved every book. Montgomery Bonbon, are easy to read children’s mysteries, for the ages 9-11 years-old, with fabulous illustrations. Detective Montgomery Bonbon, in a false moustache, is secretly Bonnie Montgomery, a ten- year- old girl. Bonnie is mainly interested in solving murders. She is good at talking in a foreign accent, and wears a beret. Montgomery Bonbon, is in Adderstone Manor. It’s not very nice having to solve a murder, but that’s what Bonnie Montgomery is good at. Tragedy has happened, in the rambling country house, Adderstone Manor, a man has been found dead inside a cage. While Bonnie is investigating, as a man, being Detective Montgomery Bonbon, her grandfather, Gramps Banks is taking photos of the crime scene. There’s plenty of suspects, but the problem was every one in Adderstone Manor has an alibi. Detective, Montgomery Bonbon, will have to work out whodunit. This is the perfect laugh out loud, entertaining children’s whodunit book series, that I highly recommend. I would like to thank Walker Books for sending me a copy for an honest review.
