- Book Synopsis
-
My name is Ted Spark. Three months ago, I solved the mystery of how my cousin Salim disappeared from a pod on the London Eye. This is the story of my second mystery.
This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft, and I realised just how important it was to find the painting, and discover who really had taken it.
Ideal for readers who:
- Prefer mysteries built on careful thinking rather than nonstop peril
- Could be intrigued by an art theft in a New York museum setting
- Value a distinctive narrator whose way of seeing the world shapes the whole puzzle
- Want a clear, satisfying case with observation and deduction at its heart
