A missing cat... Irate neighbours... Curious young investigators...
If you love mystery stories with a cast of vividly painted characters, and a twist at the end you will NEVER see coming... then this is for YOU...
Five friends form the Mystery Book Club. However, what starts as a fun Saturday afternoon meet-up, soon develops into an investigation. Someone is stealing cats in the neighbourhood. Guided by the books they love, the friends search for the culprit. Will they be able to stay out of trouble? Will they catch the thief before he strikes again?
Written in homage to the Enid Blyton mystery books, this story is set in Sri Lanka. It is a coming of age tale, and the youngsters learn to travel through an adult world of prejudice and social norms as they attempt to solve the mystery.
So arm yourself with your favourite mystery books, and get ready to knock on neighbours' doors, as you hunt down a wily thief with these new friends...
