But when an old lady is the victim of a hit-and-run, and strange red slime appears throughout London instead of water, she and her best friend Liam Lau find that they have gotten their biggest case ever (so far).There’s been a murder at the British Museum, and Agatha suspects that the police are missing a wider plot going on below London - a plot involving a disused tube station, a huge fireworks display, and 5,000 tonnes of gold bullion. You've come to the perfect place if you'd like to learn more about my adventures across London landmarks as I catch the bad guys in style (for me style is a red beret, tortoiseshell glasses, Breton stripes and a baguette under my arm while I glide across Hyde Park on my bicycle) along with the invaluable help of my friends Liam and Brianna. It’s been five weeks since I solved the case of the red slime that had polluted London’s water supply – and I’m itching to get going again. And I couldn’t help notice the box of chocolates on your table, clearly a gift for a lady…” I smile, pleased with my investigatory skills.

A third mystery for 13-year-old Agatha Oddly - a bold, determined heroine and the star of this stylish new detective series.

Agatha Oddly and the Secret Key is my first foray into Middle Grade this year and what a fantastic start it is! Pacing is okay but the characterisation very thin and I have to say that I never believed in Agatha as a character as her reactions never ring true and the Poirot element is very gimmicky.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The fifth book, The Silver Serpent, takes place in Venice, which is another fascinating location that adds to the allure of the series.

There's been a murder at the British Museum and, although the police are investigating, Agatha suspects that they're missing a wider plot going on below London - a plot involving a disused Tube station, a huge fireworks display, and five thousand tonnes of gold bullion. With a fun plot, and great characters it’s a fantastic adventurous mystery for younger children and a fun quick read for us adults! What I was about to say was that, despite your youth and relative inexperience, it has been suggested to me that you might be able to help out with a case I’ve received.
