A delightful cosy mystery series set in a small town for readers aged 7+ who still love to read books with some black-and-white illustrations, where three cousins must work together to solve the crimes of Muddlemoor!
When Joe Robinson discovers he'll be spending the school holidays at his grandmother's home in the small, teeny-tiny town of Muddlemoor Village, he knows he's going to to get EXCELLENT treatment from his super talented baker grandmother. But when he finds out his two cousins, Tom and Pip, will be joining too, he couldn't be more EXCITED! Even MORE fun to be had.
But out of all the surprises, the least he could expect is to become a sleuth and mystery solver with his cousins during their school holiday! Their first mystery to solve will involve helping their grandmother: her precious cake recipe has gone MISSING! And right before the village's great bake off!
But their adventures don't finish at that. Their clever thinking will take them on to solve bank-robbing mysteries and even save a bunch of CHICKENS... all while making readers laugh at their rambles and shenanigans!
Ruth Quayle has also written the well-known Magnificent Mabel books, but fans of cosy mysteries, Pamela Butchart and Robin Stevens's Murder Most Unladylike Mystery books will especially love this series full of friendship, fun, family love and all the comforting elements, from books to baking, that make for great cosy mysteries!
