In this mischievous and mystery-filled sequel to The Swifts, a trail leads Shenanigan and her sisters to Paris where they are plunged into an adventure involving long lost relatives and highly artistic thieves.
The second book in the New York Times-bestselling series - a gleeful gothic mystery perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket and Robin Stevens.
Having solved the mystery of Arch-Aunt Schadenfreude's non-murder and uncovered the location of Grand Uncle Vile's long-lost treasure, Shenanigan Swift might just be in the running for junior detective of the year. But when robbers target Swift House, her sleuthing skills are tested like never before.
The trail leads Shenanigan and her sisters to Paris and the Hotel Martinet, home of the estranged French branch of the Swift family. From there, the girls must track down Ouvolpo, a gang of daring thieves who design each of their crimes as audacious pieces of art.
What links Ouvolpo and the Swifts? Where will they strike next? And why has Uncle Maelstrom taken to wearing an earring again . . . ? All will be revealed in this second hilarious and mysterious adventure for Shenanigan and Co.

If The Addams Family had adopted the Baudelaire orphans, you would get The Swifts - crimes, wordplay, and family, but you get answers to the questions too! (sorry Mr Snicket).
