The second instalment in a brilliantly clever, funny and highly illustrated murder mystery series
The most troublesome thing about being a detective is that it is almost impossible to go on holiday.
When Bonnie Montgomery finally gets a break from cracking cases as her alter-ego, Montgomery Bonbon, something terribly 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. There's been a mysterious death at Leerie Lighthouse, and what everyone assumed was an accident is setting Bonbon's moustache all a-quiver: a sure sign that something is Highly Suspicious.
When a second death takes place on the other side of the island, Bonnie is sure the two are connected. But can she solve this case alone, or will she need double the detectives to solve double the murder?

For any readers who LOVE whodunnits, Montgomery Bonbon is the book to read! The funniest detectives in children's fiction – I loved it so much. Put on your fake moustaches and join the murdery fun! - Maisie Chan
Montgomery Bonbon and ABK have struck again with another hilarious crime-solving mystery. I didnt think Alasdair's writing could get any funnier but somehow he did. The Montgomery Bonbon series is such a brilliantly comical series that I genuinely believe is equally enjoyable for both middle grade readers and adults alike. Also who doesn't love a locked-room mystery that is super satisfying to try and solve. 5-stars easy! - John, NetGalley
The writing is very accessible to students and the illustration is adorable. Sometimes detective stories for children may come across as being a bit bland, but this one is definitely a fun-filled read. - Joanna, NetGalley
