The Mystery of Holly Lane

Money has been stolen from a bungalow called Hollies, and now all the furniture has gone too! Who could the thief possibly be? As usual the Five Find-Outers and Dog are hot on the trail...but, unfortunately, so is Mr Goon!

It has a solid pace, some well-drawn scenes, and one particularly memorable part where Buster is wrongly accused of chasing sheep and Mr Goon is quite prepared to have him shot (more on that in a moment). The only thing that lags a little is the ingenuity behind the mystery. It's all set up nicely, and has the makings of a great mystery. It's one of those that reads well on the back cover: Money has been stolen from a bungalow called Hollies, and now all the furniture has gone too! Oooh, mysterious!
