This fun and light-hearted chapter book series about a young girl living in Victorian London is written by the much-loved Holly Webb and illustrated throughout by the brilliant Marion Lindsay.
Maisie Hitchins lives in her grandmother's boarding house. She so longs for adventure and idolizes the famous detective Gilbert Carrington, following his every case. Together with her faithful pup Eddie, Maisie is determined to follow even the slightest scent of a mystery, and in each book in this series set in Victorian London, she gets to the bottom of a new exciting case.

I liked this book. Maisie is a great detective and I liked her dressing up to pretend to be a different person. The ending was good as I didn't expect...
First book read in this series. My son liked the story and the Victorian London setting. Nice illustrations. ...
Nice book with a mystery to solve as you read along. It's great for children of about 8-9 who are just being introduced to the genre of mystery/crime...
