Description

When his cousin Kat disappears from Enderby Manor, Frankie Dupont jumps on the scene, only to find bumbling Inspector Cluesome beat him to it. Cluesome thinks Kat simply wandered off. Frankie isn’t buying it.

He follows the evidence to conniving concierge, a six fingered chef, a talking parrot, and a shifty dwarf. Quite frankly, none of them are making any sense until Frankie discovers, Kat’s time is running out.

An exciting new illustrated mystery series for ages 7-10.

I loved the idea of writing a book set in a creepy and mysterious manor, with a 10 year old wanna be private investigator, who uses hand-me-down technology from his dad's PI business. Add in some colourful characters who seem to all be a little lenient on telling the truth and you have one wacky mystery that only Frankie Dupont can solve.
