The Guggenheim Mystery has had another wonderful US review! Booklist says:
Kat and Ted are visiting their cousin Salim, now in New York thanks to his mother’s new job as a curator at the Guggenheim Museum. As in their first adventure, The London Eye Mystery (2008), they are called upon to become detectives, here because a painting has been stolen and Salim’s mother arrested. The book’s narrator is 12-year-old Ted, described last time out as having a brain that “runs on a different operating system” (seemingly Asperger’s syndrome); yet it’s his ability to see patterns, indiscernible to most, that allows him, with Kate and Salim’s help, to identify the real perpetrator. The previous book’s author, Siobhan Dowd, died, leaving only this sequel’s title; in an author’s note, Stevens describes how she went about constructing this novel from three words. She’s done an admirable job with the characters. Ted especially is his same quirky self, a boy both a participant in and an observer of his life. The mystery has a few creaky spots, but Stevens moves things along briskly. A welcome return for this dynamic trio.
The Guggenheim Mystery is coming out in America on the 16th of October – not long to wait at all!
