First in a brand-new series of murder mysteries. Miss Marple for the younger reader!
Product Description
When Poppy Fields goes on an activity holiday to a remote Scottish island, she is looking forward to a week of climbing, hill-walking and horse riding. But things take a bad turn when their instructor has what appears to be a fatal abseiling accident. When Poppy discovers that his rope was cut, and more of the instructors start to have "accidents", she and best friend Graham suspect foul play and decide to investigate.

This book hit just the right note with my 10 year-old who is desperate
for something with a bit of substance - but still doesn't have the
tenacity to cope with a full length murder mystery like Agatha Christie.
He's mad about murder mysteries on TV so this was exactly what we needed.

I loved this book and my year six class loved it too. It's a fast paced murder mystery where the main suspects get knocked off left right and centre, leaving you to wonder to the very end, if it really could be ghosts. My children enjoyed the ingenious and gorey plot. Poppy fields is a breath of fresh air as the inquisitive protagonist who teams up with an unlikely companion to make sense of the devastation going on around her. We are all looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

(What's this?)
This book is part of the Poppy Fields series and this set is excellent for youngsters that are into mysteries. After retrieving it back from my 10 year old cousin (who is lets say a reluctant reader) on a short loan, she surprisingly couldn't wait to tell me all about it. The plot is well thought out, and it keeps you turning the pages and guessing right until the very end. Would like to read more in the series.
I won't spoil it too much but just a brief blurb - Poppy's first adventure sees her on a remote Scottish island where the organisers in a trial week for a new outdoor adventure centre are dying one by one.
Very cheap book (all are in this series) and I can highly recommend this. I did have a quick read myself, and despite it not been my cup of tea, it was easy to see how those of primary school age many find it interesting and unpredictable. Recommended book.

An entertaining and idiosyncratic wine guide, mainly for (well heeled)...
This isn't like any other wine book I've read, its personal and idiosyncratic, and most surprisingly Mr Hoggart makes few personal comments on the wines, leaving this to experts. Read more

A fine tale that will keep you guessing till the end
This is a "whodunnit" written for children around the age 9-12 - though older children may also enjoy trying to guess the identity of the murderer. Read more
