Synopsis

When Dot McCann, playing with her pals, decides to hide in Butcher Rathbone's almost empty dustbin, she overhears a conversation which could send one man to prison and the other to the gallows – and suddenly finds herself in possession of stolen goods. Dot lives with her aunt and uncle, abandoned after her parents died. She feels very alone, until she meets up with Corky who has run away from a London orphanage. They join forces with Emma, whose jeweller's shop has been burgled, and Nick, a young reporter who is investigating the crime. The four of them begin a plot to catch the thieves. But Dot and Emma have been recognised, and soon both are in very real danger...

Judy passed away in January 2019, aged 82.The legacy of Katie Flynn lives on through her daughter, Holly Flynn, who continues to write under the Katie Flynn name. Holly worked as an assistant to her mother for many years and together they co-authored a number of Katie Flynn novels.Holly lives in the north east of Wales with her husband Simon and their two children. When she's not writing she enjoys walking her two lurchers, Sparky and Snoopy, in the surrounding countryside, and cooking forbidden foods such as pies, cakes and puddings!

Reviews

Goodreads review by Grace

Read this book fairly quickly, I do feel it is targeted at a younger age group but it was left for other people to read. Its plot is interesting and the ultimate ending is great however it took a lot of getting into.......more

Goodreads review by Annette

Lol, did Katie Flynn really write this book for pre-teens because it reminded me of the Enid Blyton Famous Five books I read when I was between 10-12 years old? The book was not up to her usual adult standard, though the storyline did get more suspenseful at the end.......more
