Customer Reviews

A Scandalous Mystery

This book is amazing. It is full of surprises, scary and wonderful. Robert Newman is a fantastic writer. He takes you threw a ghastly mystery full of illusions. Let me tell you that this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is so suspenseful it will kill you. You won't and can't put the book down. The end results is shocking yet great. If you love mysteries and scandals this is the book for you.

Part of an Excellent Series

This is the second book in his Sherlock Holmes-type mystery series. Only the first book features Holmes; in the rest, Andrew and his friends (both child and adult) solve the mysteries on their own. These are truly excellent and it is a pity they are out of print. Try your local library! They are intelligently written, a little scary, but not too gruesome for those of us with queasy stomachs.
