Becket-King, Alasdair. Montgomery Bonbon: Mystery at the Manor. Book 3 of the Montgomery Bonbon series. 2025. 288p. ISBN 9781536241686.
As her keen alter-ego, Montgomery Bonbon, Bonnie Montgomery takes on the crucial task of delivering a priceless diamond to Adderstone Manor, the residence of the renowned, now-retired master thief, Fergus Croke. However, the situation quickly escalates when Croke is discovered dead mere hours later. Suspicion immediately falls upon each of his four protégés, all of whom are seasoned criminals themselves. This presents a unique challenge for even the brilliant Bonbon: with every suspect being a known crook, discerning the true culprit becomes an intricate puzzle.
With the assistance of Grampa Banks and an unexpectedly undercover best friend, Bonbon dives into the investigation. It doesn't take long for her to unravel a web of hidden identities and discover a multitude of motives. The mystery also leads her to a rather peculiar hedge maze populated by monkeys, adding an eccentric twist to the case. The pressing question remains: can Bonbon and her team unmask the killer before they strike again or disappear without a trace?
Fans of light mysteries will enjoy this action-packed adventure.
