Mystery and Detective Stories | Staff Picks - Helen

'GREETINGS. AM LOOKING FOR A MAJOR CRIME TO SOLVE. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY RECENT MURDERS, KIDNAPPINGS OR JEWEL HEISTS IN THIS AREA.'


Clara wants to be a famous detective with her own TV show. She can read claw marks, find missing feathers and knows morse code and semaphore. There's just one problem. She's a small scruffy chook, and no one takes her seriously. But when she teams up with Olive, the daughter of the local policeman, they might just be able to solve the crimes that have been troubling the town of Little Dismal.


A puzzling and hilarious mystery from bestselling author, Lian Tanner.

Kathleen's review - This is SO funny! The author gets it just right - the highly intelligent chicken who can understand everything that humans say, can text, and can do Morse Code and Semaphore, yet has a very definite chicken-view on the world. She's smart, she's determined, and she learns to be brave.
