Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-03 00:00:00 Garry Smith This is a very refreshing murder mystery set in the 1950's. The main protagonist is a precocious twelve year old boy named Billy, who takes it upon himself to solve a neighbour's murder when the police close the case, saying it was an accident. Billy is a typical boy, brave and more than ready to take on the world, but with more street sense and deductive abilities than the average pre-teen. Aided by his bosom buddies Yvonne(Wy) and Michael(Kick), Billy has many adventures and narrow escapes in his search for the truth!

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-31 00:00:00 Milton Machen There's nothing wrong with this book; it's well-crafted and meticulously sets the scene of post war Sheffield. I easily imagined myself being there experiencing the sights and sounds through the eyes of the children. However, I wasn't excited by this book. I'm sad to say it just lacked 'something' despite my wanting to like it so much more than a 2/5 'it was ok' rating.
