Description

Inspector Rumblepants and Sergeant Widebottom from New Scotland Yard’s Special and Confusing Crime Division are called in (as Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Watson are away on an Austrian skiing holiday) to solve the mysterious theft of the Golden Haggis, the symbol of Scottish royalty. Battling against time, a dastardly thief and his band of cutthroat gypsies, a mysterious weapon that causes uncontrollable farting, and an evil Scottish prince, they must find the Golden Haggis before the Scottish clans unite to invade England (again) and then take over the world. Helped by Agent Amber, a pretty but lethal secret agent from MI six‐and‐a‐half, the overenthusiastic Inspector Nailhard from the crack police Fast Armed Response Team (FART), and a part‐time Scottish secret agent (whose day job is a butcher), they must overcome overwhelming odds and unravel confusing clues in order to solve the case and save the world.

Advance Praise

When I got a review request for this book, my list for the month was filled up already, but the title of the book and the fact I am a HUGE fan of Sherlock Holmes made me want to break my rules and add it to my TBR list. I am glad I did. The book is packed with a lot of humor was just a fun read. I like that this book has a list of anachronisms at the end of the book (like the story takes place in 1865 and Sherlock Holmes would have been 11-years old (he was fictitiously born in 1854). I also had to look up what an anachronism is/means on my Kindle). The plot was a little predictable and there were places I would have liked the story to have more details (like the castle setting or the bad-guy’s lair), but in all, I enjoyed the story. I think that it is a good book for ages 8+ and is a good introduction to a Holmes-type mystery. Rumblepants and Widebottom (LOVE the names) were fun and unique characters. I hope they go on more adventures. The illustrations in the book (there is about one every-other chapter) were colorful and really added to the story. I didn’t think the cover art showed the silliness of the book though (even though it is a nice illustration).
