The Blurb On The Back:
”Never eliminate the impossible.”
When Mutt gets a job as an apprentice at the leading detective agency in the realm of Rillia, he’s not expecting to work with ex-princesses, snow gnoblins, and the most notorious assassin of the White Hand Clan.
And he’s definitely not expecting to be thrown in the deep end on the agency’s toughest and most dangerous job yet - the Mysterious Case of the Vanishing Jester …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Chris Smith’s humorous fantasy mystery for readers aged 9+ nods to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett and features warm, comic-style illustrations by Kenneth Anderson. Although the culprit is easy to guess, the wry, knowing narrative voice and the way Smith weaves the various plot lines and incorporates backstory and information through segments entitled a Traveller’s Guide to Rillia is very entertaining so I would definitely read a sequel to this.
CLARITY JONES AND THE MAGICAL DETECTIVE AGENCY was released in the United Kingdom on 25th May 2023. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
