Review- The Detective's Assistant

Author: Kate Hannigan

Suggested age range: 8-13 years

The Detective's Assistant was one of the most enjoyable books for me in the duration of the summers. It’s about a girl, named Cornelia Warne, who goes to live in her aunt’s house because all her other family members are dead. At first, Nell (Cornelia's nickname) feels that her aunt is very boring and alongside, her aunt rejects Cornelia.

But soon, Nell discovers that her aunt is a detective, absolutely the opposite of boring! She starts helping her out and soon her aunt becomes accustomed to her.

From stopping murders and robbers, to simply dressing up as a fortune-teller to make a lady confess, this book has it all. It is a well-balanced book and continually funny.
