About The Book

Get ready to meet Violet Remy-Robinson an amateur Sherlock Holmes in the making in the fifth book in this delightful young detective series, perfect for fans of Robin Stevens, Enid Blyton and Anisha, Accidental Detective!

‘There is a new girl sleuth on the block’ The Times

Violet and her friends can't believe their luck when they're invited to a wedding on a tropical island. But when some old enemies show up at the hotel and a valuable figurine goes missing, Violet is sure the sneaky family are behind it. It's a race against time – and a hungry tiger – to uncover the truth and make sure the big day goes to plan . . .
