"Boasting outrageous puns and comic-style artwork, this hilarious hardboiled crime caper is ideal for 7+ readers who like shorter, highly illustrated fiction"
Guardian, Best Books of the Season
"A wonderfully wacky crime caper with vibrant comic book art"
Waterstones
"A wonderfully silly crime caper packed to the brim with jokes and wordplay... Hugely appealing cartoon style illustrations by Lee Cosgrove mean that even less confident readers will gobble this up as quickly as Shelter would herself"
LoveReading4Kids
"Perfect for less confident readers... It is also great fun to read aloud with a parent…who will chuckle at the jokes just as much as the children will!"
Books for Keeps
"With witty one-liners and daft puns... this fabulously funny tale is ideal for newly confident, independent readers... hilarious black-and-white illustrations combine with dynamic comic-strip artwork, to provide an amusing visual narrative to accompany the humorous text"
