Reviews

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

Much nostalgia reading these books with my kids. Great Australian middle grade mysteries.

[Sarah Thornton]

Another weak entry by Kate Rowe. The characters barely resent each other, and the mystery isn't compelling.
The concept is older than the language in the books - it feels like it's in a wierd space between the target audience and the actual audience.

Reread 2024: still a meh book. It has a few good moments but without the sniping between the main character it feels flat.
