When his cousin Kat disappears from Enderby Manor, Frankie Dupont jumps on the case. Bumbling Inspector Cluesome is convinced that Kat is lost in Myrtle’s Mesmerising Maze, but Frankie isn’t buying it.

Review:
I received a free ecopy of this book for an honest review.
What a fun book for children! Frankie Dupont and the Mystery of Enderby Manor is a mystery that is easy to read and flows well.
The characters are unique and the adults in the manor are described well, making it easy to picture them. Frankie is smart and would be impressive even if he were an adult.
I recommend this book for young readers. It’s a good one especially for children who enjoy a mystery.
