Death at the Lighthouse by Alisdair Beckett-King & Claire Powell

The great undercover detective, Montgomery Bonbon, is back with another delightful mystery! Following on from the incredibly engaging Montgomery Bonbon: Murder at the Museum, we join Bonnie and her Grandpa Banks on holiday on Odde Island. But can a great detective ever really be on holiday?

Wherever Bonnie goes, mysteries aren’t far behind. News of a tragic accident at the lighthouse and the death of the lighthouse keeper means just one thing – her alter ego, Montogomery Bonbon is on the case.

There is much more going on than meets the eye in the unusual community of Odde Island (where onions are banned). An eccentric cast of characters, each with their own ambitions, lead Montgomery Bonbon and Banks on dangerous path. Bonbon is an expert at being nosey, pulling at loose ends, uncovering clues and identfying suspects. Readers will love solving the mystery right along with this charming pair.

Claire Powell’s illustrations bring so much personality to the characters and elevate Montgomery Bonbon from a brilliant mystery to an iconic character.

Find your beret, trench coat and false moustache and join Montogomery Bonbon on the next case!
