(3.5) I did appreciate this one a little more as we get to see just how close the siblings are to each other.

Better than some series, worse than others. I like that there were more clues dropped than in the Whodunit Detective Agency book, but this isn't really a series that needs talking up. Even for a book written in 2003, this is bafflingly dated. Better than some series, worse than others.

Comics are a hot item around here so had to see what kind of trouble the kids were having with comics. The one comic to finish the collection is no where to be found and then there is a copy available. Is it real and how can we prove whether or not it is real.

The kids not only get to help solve a crime but meet their favorite comic book artist! Also, wise advice- always hide a secret in your work, so no one can steal it.
