A Grimacres Whodunnit: Murder! By Narwhal!

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

From the internationally bestselling creator of Claude and Mr Penguin comes a brand-new tongue-in-cheek murder mystery series, stylishly illustrated in black and white, and perfect for fans of Robin Stevens, Enola Holmes and Knives Out.

When the tyrannical family patriarch Sir Ignatious Gristle is murdered on his 90th birthday at his country estate, every one of his gathered family members is a suspect. Trapped by a snowstorm with no way to contact the police, it's up to his mettlesome granddaughter, Edna, and her trusted tortoise, Charles Darwin, to determine whodunnit!

Full of head-scratching clues, page-turning twists and a lot people acting suspiciously this is the first in a funny, spoofy middle-grade murder mystery series from bestselling author Alex T. Smith.

'Outrageously funny, lavishly illustrated.' The Guardian, Best Books of Autumn

'A verbal and visual treat with a fast-paced plot, packed full of weird suspects, head-scratching clues and page-turning twists... all brought to glorious life by Alex's extraordinary illustrations.' Lancashire Guardian
