A gripping, beautifully written historical mystery, from an
incredible new voice in children's fiction. The body seemed to fall
for a long time. There was no splash, or if there was it was lost
in the waves. Isobel was frozen to the spot for a moment - and then
her common sense caught up with her, and she stepped back quickly
into the shadows. When Isobel Petty is orphaned, she finds herself
being taken away from her home in India and sent to live with a
distant uncle in England. On board the S.S. Marianna, she witnesses
a shocking act - somebody being thrown overboard in the middle in
the night. But when the ship's captain insists that nobody is
missing, Isobel and her two new reluctant friends must solve two
mysteries - the identities of both the murderer and the victim -
before they reach England and the culprit has the chance to escape.
Inspired by The Secret Garden and the golden age of crime writing,
The Secret Detectives is perfect for fans of Robin Stevens and
Katherine Rundell. "A thoroughly entertaining mystery and a
heartening story of friendship. I loved it." - Katherine Woodfine,
author of The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow
