en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 noi 2015 – vârsta de la 9 ani
Meet Knightley and Son - two great detectives for the price of one ...Darkus Knightley is not your average 13-year-old: ferociously logical, super-smart and with a fondness for tweed, detective work is in his blood. His dad Alan Knightley was London's top private investigator and an expert in crimes too strange for Scotland Yard to handle, but four years ago the unexplained finally caught up with him - and he fell into a mysterious coma. Darkus is determined to follow in his father's footsteps and find out what really happened. But when Alan suddenly wakes up, his memory is wonky and he needs help. The game is afoot for Knightley & Son - with a mystery that gets weirder by the minute, a bestselling book that makes its readers commit terrible crimes, and a sinister organisation known as the Combination ...A funny, warm, fantastical crime caper with an unlikely hero and a brilliant comic cast, perfect for fans ofSherlock and criminally good storytelling.

Recenzii

A rousing page-turner with one fault: it ends
Dangers are faced in London in an engaging, characterful debut ... with enjoyably convincing family relationships
Aimed at young adventurers, Rohan Gavin's Knightley & Son, for age 10+, perfectly combines comedy and crime-solving as young Doc Knightley tries to discover what caused his father, a private investigator, to fall into a coma. This is an engaging debut and the tweed-loving Doc is a young Holmes for our times
Full of suspense, intrigue and humour, this is a modern day classic detective mystery
Heaps of mystery, dry humour and tweed abound in this exemplar of crime fiction à la Doyle
A lively romp which will certainly please young readers
This is a fun crime novel for young readers ... hilarious and a bit scary, it's a good adventure
Rohan Gavin has created a protagonist that readers will grow to love
My inner twelve-year-old took to Darkus pretty much instantly ... it reminded me of the Artemis Fowl books ... I'd recommend for the young Sherlockian, crime aficionado, or action fan in anyone's life
