Grab your moustache and get ready for an adventure!
Inspector Bonbon is Widdlington’s best detective. He’s always at the scene of the crime, spotting suspects and searching for clues. What the rest of the town don’t realise is that Bonbon and his assistant, Banks, are actually ten-year-old Bonnie Montgomery and her quick-witted grandfather. This unlikely crime-fighting duo are the stars of Montgomery Bonbon: Murder at the Museum – the first in a delightful new middle grade mystery series.
Bonnie and Grandpa Banks are visiting the Hornville Museum – the oldest building in Widdlington – when there’s a dreadful scream and they are plunged into darkness. A security guard’s been murdered and a carved stone eagle has been stolen. With a quick transformation, Montgomery Bonbon is on the case!
Claire Powell’s illustrations give readers a peek at Bonbon’s case notes and bring the wonderful characters to life. Bonnie’s powers of observation and cheeky voice come through in the depiction of each new person she meets.
Thought-provoking and funny, readers will find everything they want in a solve-along mystery. Suspects, clues, red herrings and secret identities are revealed with charm and so much personality. Bonnie is a feisty heroine who doesn’t let anything stop her. Add in seagulls, scones and an interfering scarlett macaw for a story you won’t be able to put down. Will Bonnie be able to keep her identity a secret or will Widdlington’s most dasterdly villains discover what she’s hiding?
