MURDER AT THE MUSEUM - MONTGOMERY BONBON 1
"Comedian Beckett-King's sparkling series-starting debut delivers constant laughs and witty rejoinders." -Publishers Weekly starred review
From a rising stand-up comedian and exciting new talent in children's fiction comes a brilliantly funny murder mystery series that BBC Radio called "Knives Out meets Poirot-but for children!"
Bonnie Montgomery is the world's greatest detective. Not that anyone-other than Grampa Banks-has heard of her. But they will have heard of Montgomery Bonbon, the gentleman detective with the bristly mustache, fashionable beret, and accent that's hard to place. Montgomery Bonbon is responsible for solving many high-stakes crimes, including unmasking the Emmental Bandit, restoring the Rusakova diamonds to their rightful owner, and busting an international owl-smuggling ring, resulting in the arrest of over twelve owls.
But now Montgomery Bonbon is needed on a case much closer to home, at the Hornville Museum in Bonnie's hometown of Widdlington, where a mysterious death has occurred. Don't look too carefully, however-from certain angles, Montgomery Bonbon looks suspiciously like a ten-year-old girl . . . Brimming with charm and wit, this debut offering from comedian and writer Alasdair Beckett-King and best-selling illustrator Claire Powell is a delightful modern take on the classic whodunit.
Edad recomendada: A partir de 10 años.
