The Mona Lisa Mystery
Laurence Hutchins
An enjoyable, if rather complicated, tale of children on a trip to Paris solving an art theft. This is Pat Hutchins at her most devious. Frankly I became rather confused and lost some of the threads of evidence -- but that can be put down to creeping senility! An able junior should easily manage to cope with the story, and rejoice at the far-fetched successful conclusion. I quite like the black and white cartoony illustrations; the vintage coach ammuses me. Is the Hampstead area education office utilising a fleet of museum transport?
