ALEX T. SMITH – A GRIMACRES WHODUNNIT!
Murder! By Narwhal! is a murder mystery with head scratching, page-turning twists, which is outrageously funny and lavishly illustrated for 8 to 12 year olds.
When Edna’s tyrannical grandfather, Sir Ignatius Gristle, meets a grisly end at the family manor on the eve of his 90th birthday, everyone in the family is a suspect. Trapped by a snowstorm, no one can leave… and no one is coming to help. It’s up to Edna and her trusted tortoise, Charles Darwin, to determine whodunnit!
“Having been a fan of murder mystery stories for as long as I can remember, it’s been a real thrill to pop on my Poirot-style pince-nez, dust of my Jessica Fletcher typewriter and write my own. I can’t wait to take a new-to-me group of readers into the shadowy world of Grimacres where nothing is quite as it seems…” - Alex T. Smith.
Murder! By Narwhal! is published by Hachette Children’s Books.
