![]() With an excellent cast of characters, suspects and accomplices and sidekicks alike, its the perfect read for girls (and boys) who like their fiction fast and funny, with just enough edge (and romance) to reel in the older readers, but not so much as to dissuade the younger ones. Theres a self- conscious tone to the story-its a little tongue in cheek with its references to the mystery and to the great mystery writers-but this gives the story a delightfully hyper-real feel. The reader is made suspicious of all the characters in turn as Bee, a highly observant detective, shares her theories and observations. This book is a lark, immediately engaging and very, very funny. Like a teenage Agatha Christie, or an indie Nancy Drew, Bee is determined to find Gus killer. ![]() ![]() A taxidermist-in-training, Bee works at the Natural History Museum and arrives at work one day to learn her boss and mentor has been found dead in the Red Rotunda room-an apparent suicide. ![]()
