3 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
How do you catch a killer - when you're just a kid? A teenage girl disappears from a beach town at the height of summer. Two months later a massive police search has gotten nowhere. And eleven-year-old Billy Wheatley steps in to solve the case. Billy's something of a child prodigy--or at least he thinks he is. He lives on a desolate clifftop with just his distant father for company. Plus the animals that live in the rockpools around him. But he's highly motivated, with his own reasons to want the police and coastguard off his beach. Using all of his particular ingenuity, Billy unravels the mystery. But what he discovers puts him in terrible danger. The person who took the girl is someone he knows, only too well. And when they learn that Billy is onto them They're going to need him dead.

Thank you @TrishB ! That made me proper laugh! And it looks really good, as well (not so sure about the cover, mind 🤣) - I‘ll enjoy reading this. Thank you so much 😘😘

TrishB You‘re very welcome 😁 I‘ll try to be on time next year! But I did laugh too 😘 4y
squirrelbrain How funny! But that cover is a bit scary, especially if you‘re scared of water like me! 💦 4y
TrishB I can definitely understand how that would be scary if you didn‘t like water! @squirrelbrain 4y

rockpools @TrishB @squirrelbrain It‘s pretty disturbing even if you don‘t mind the water. Think I might have to keep it face down while I‘m reading it. 4y

I loved this book. Besides some time jump issues that weren't quite fair to the reader, I couldn't put it down. Any faults were quickly overlooked because this author knows how to cast out some suspense and slowly reel the reader in on a hook! He also used some great misdirection on the way to revealing the true culprit - it made me realize how many books lack believable red herrings.
