Product Description
"It's not fair. I do my homework. I clean my teeth twice a day. Why does everyone want to kill me?" It's a dangerous life being the younger brother of the world's worst private detective, but Nick Diamond's survived...so far. He's due a holiday, so he should be happy when an invitation arrives for his brother Tim inviting him to a school reunion on a remote Scottish island and offering to pay him [pound]1,000 for the pleasure. But Nick's got a bad feeling and it's not indigestion. And when he meets their fellow guests, the feeling only gets worse - especially when they start dying in ever more bizarre ways! Could it be the Diamond Brothers' days are numbered?

I read this with a Y8 class over a few lessons and they were hooked from the start. Although it's short, it's perfect for 10 minutes at the end of a lesson or as a short class reader for a few lessons. The girls were not convinced to begin with but with some speculation throughout the first chapter they became intrigued.
The plot is great - think Cluedo set on an Island. The characters are all funny with something endearing about all of them. The children were left guessing right up to the end which made it worth while.
A lovely cost effective book that was just right!

This is a realy entertaining book. It is very funny and has many grusome murders! It should appeal to anyone who likes detective stories, young and old. It is always easy to pick up and read and is never boring. The only reason it got four stars was because it is really quite short. But for £1 you can't go wrong!

Probably the best Horowitz story I have ever read.
He is my favourite author and always has been. The way he can include horror into a very funny story emphasises his ability to write in different styles and creates appreciative writing styles for different audiences.
This Diamond brother story is the best in the series. The brothers travel to a claustrophobic island where murders are taking place, but no one knows who is doing the.
The story is very exciting because of the mystery surrounding the plot. No one knows what is happening, creating great tension and mysterious things keep taking place. The use of Tim's pathetic self with terrible humour allows heavy chuckles when reading.
The cleverness of Nick is great as Horowitz writes from his point of view, allowing us an inside into his clever detective mind.
The murder conventions are great and captivate the genre brilliantly. The clues leading up to a brilliant conclusion are very well throughout out and engage the readers to thin for themselves about who the murderer really is.
The setting is also very well described and adds to an already tense plot.
A short story with exciting scenes, mystery and suspense running throughout, comedy, and intriguing character add up to one of the most exciting mysterious books I have ever read.
