Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8–Tim and Nick Simple, also known as the Diamond Brothers, find themselves in the middle of mystery and mayhem in three action-packed short stories. In each humorous episode, Nick, 13, must solve the crime before his older brother, the world's worst detective, either bumbles the investigation or gets them both killed. In "The Blurred Man," the Simples must determine who flattened philanthropist Lenny Smile with a steamroller. A trip to France becomes a near-death experience when they find themselves in the middle of a drug ring in "The French Confection." Finally, Tim is invited to a class reunion that becomes deadly in "I Know What You Did Last Wednesday." Nick is a realistic character with a voice that is sarcastic and fresh, while Tim's lack of intelligence makes even the most dangerous situations laughable. Plenty of plays on words add to the humor. Readers looking for an entertaining mystery will enjoy this sequel to The Falcon's Malteser (Philomel, 2004) and hope for more.–Angela M. Boccuzzi-Reichert, Merton Williams' Middle School, Hilton, NY

From Booklist

Gr. 5-8. Thirteen-year-old Nick and his bumbling older brother Tim, the heroes from Public Enemy Number Two (2004) and The Falcon's Malteser (2004) return for three more adventures. This time they search for a missing philanthropist who may have been steamrolled, fight off drug smugglers operating out of a French confectionary shop, and become trapped on a Scottish island with a murderer who seems determined to reenact an Agatha Christie novel. Naive, literal Tim serves as a comic foil to the clever Nick, who becomes a hero by default as he tries to keep himself and his brother alive. Horowitz's writing is fast-paced and funny, full of clever puns and deadpan comments. Descriptions of dead bodies and a particularly vivid hallucinogenic experience may make younger readers squeamish, but this is great for the sophisticated mystery lover not quite ready for adult crime novels.
