Baker Street Mysteries: The Shadow of Evil by Tim Pigott-Smith
'Using children as unofficial policemen, my dear Holmes, is most irregular. Then that is what we shall call them, Watson, The Irregulars! Sherlock Holmes's Irregulars!'
'I could hardly out this book down! Tim Pigott-Smith is a brilliant story-teller and his books about the Irregulars are absolute winners!' * Families Magazine *
'a fast-moving adventure spiced with danger, nefarious villains and humour' * School Librarian *
'The Dragon Tattoo' is a rattling good yarn. Anyone writing a new Sherlock Holmes tale needs sharp wits and a keen sense of drama, and Tim Pigott-Smith has those in abundance. I look forward to further adventures of the Baker Street Irregulars from this skilful storyteller. * Philip Pullman *
'A pacy, compelling thriller with a strong plot and believable characters ... Really evocative of the streets of Victorian London, this is a series that is likely to run and run.' * Lovereading 4 kids *
'This is an exciting page-turner of a story with fantastic characters.' * Families *
'exciting, full of danger and adventure' * School Librarian *
'breathlessly exciting adventures' * Sherlock Holmes Society Magazine *
'an utterly thrilling and highly enjoyable read.' * Writeaway *
Everything a good mystery for children should be. * Bookbag *
