Montgomery Bonbon: Murder at the Museum is my debut book for kids aged 8-12 (and only the most discerning grown-ups), illustrated by Claire Powell and published by Walker Books.
Many people go their whole lives without noticing anything that is afoot, amiss, or even untoward; without ever experiencing that toe-tingling, stomach-twisting sensation that a mystery is about to unfold. Not Bonnie Montgomery - the world's best detective. Not that anyone (other than Grampa Banks) has heard of her… But they might have heard of the great Montgomery Bonbon, the well-dressed gentleman detective who (apart from the hat and moustache) looks suspiciously like a 10-year-old girl.
Montgomery Bonbon: Death at the Lighthouse is the second installment in the Bonnie Montgomery series. Once again, it's illustrated by the supremely talented Claire Powell and published by Walker Books.
The most troublesome thing about being a detective is that it is almost impossible to go on holiday. Bonnie Montgomery finally gets a break from cracking cases as her alter-ego (Montgomery Bonbon), but something fishy happens the moment she and Grampa Banks arrive on Odde Island for half-term... and it's not just the smell of the harbour.
