5.0 out of 5 stars Falcon's Malteser, 4 May 2005
Another top story from Mr Horowitz. Full of fun and humour for both children and their parents!

The plot involves a deceased crime baron, a very thin Fat Man and a special box of chocolates.

Nick Diamond and his older brother Tim find themselves babysitting a package on behalf of a South American Dwarf, called Johnny Naples. Soon Johnny turns up dead and half the crooks in the world are after the Diamond Brothers.

Full of twists, turns and laugh out loud humour, this book deserves a place on everybody's bookshelf!

5.0 out of 5 stars A clever combination of thrills, chills and LOL comedy!, 29 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Falcon's Malteser (Paperback)
Nick Diamond: Poor and can't do anything about it. But doesn't wnat to be considered a charity case. Tim Diamond: Poor and can't do anything about it. But does want to be considered a charity case. To make money, Tim is a full-time self-employed private-eye. His business is called Diamond Investigations Inc. But as Nick says, the only inc. in that office was in Tim's pen! This business isn't the most successful London business of all time, so Nick and Tim are surprised when they get they get called-in on by a dwarf! He hands them a box and tells them by no means, to open it...

This book gave the best laughs of my life. My favourite book of Anthony Horowitz ever!
