Montgomery Bonbon: Mystery at the Manor

By Alasdair Beckett-King

Illustrated by Claire Powell

Bonbon is back in the third instalment in a brilliantly clever, funny and highly illustrated murder mystery series.

Bonnie Montgomery (as her case-cracking alter-ego Montgomery Bonbon) has been tasked with delivering a priceless diamond to Adderstone Manor, the home of retired master thief Fergus Croke. The plot thickens faster than a good roux when Croke is found dead hours later, and every one of his four protégés is suspected of the dirty deed. But when everyone is a crook, how does even the great Bonbon know where to begin? With the help of Grampa Banks and an undercover best friend, it’s not long before Bonbon uncovers hidden identities, motives a-many, and a rather surprising hedge maze full of monkeys. But can they catch the killer, before it’s too late?

Reviews

'Once again, this new book of the Bonbon series shines with laughter and mystery! The mystery is exciting, making it a page-turner for even hesitant readers. The sense of humour will, I think, make every reader of any age laugh out loud. It’s full whimsy and lots of brilliant shenanigans. I highly recommend this series.' Waterstones

'Once again there is a cast of characters who are brought to life by Clare Powell's brilliant illustrations. I love these books. I love the mysteries. I love the fact the Bonnie has a great solid family so there's no peril there. I love that Bonnie is a bit rubbish being a friend in a way that we all were when we were that age.' Waterstones
