A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Praise for Knightley and Son:

Dangers are faced in London in an engaging, characterful debut . . . with enjoyably convincing family relationships

(Nicolette Jones Sunday Times )

Praise for Knightley and Son:

Aimed at young adventurers, Rohan Gavin's Knightley & Son, for age 10+, perfectly combines comedy and crime-solving as young Doc Knightley tries to discover what caused his father, a private investigator, to fall into a coma. This is an engaging debut and the tweed-loving Doc is a young Holmes for our times

( Daily Mail )

Praise for Knightley and Son:

Full of suspense, intrigue and humour this is a modern day classic detective mystery

( Guardian Best New Children's Books, Summer 2014 )

Praise for Knightley and Son:

Heaps of mystery, dry humor and tweed abound in this exemplar of crime fiction à la Doyle ... A rousing page-turner with one fault: It ends

-- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Présentation de l'éditeur

Darkus Knightley, tweed-wearing, mega-brained, thoroughly logical 13-year-old investigator of the weird, was just getting used to having his dad back in his life. Then Alan Knightley went off-radar, again, leaving Darkus with a traumatised ex-bomb-disposal dog as his only partner in crime-solving.

Now things are getting even stranger. Family pets are being savaged by a beast at a top London beauty spot. Policemen have been tracked and attacked by a particularly aggressive canine. And two curiously alert hounds seem to be watching Darkus's house. No one is using the word werewolf - yet - but as the full moon approaches, it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to work out that someone or something sinister is messing with the minds of London's dog population. A mysterious canine conspiracy is howling for the attention of Knightley & Son . . .

Criminally good detective adventure, perfect for fans of Sherlock and sharp-minded sleuths of all shapes and sizes . . .
