Customer Reviews

Nephew enjoys Horowitz mysteries!

First the Alex Rider series, now the Diamond Brothers mysteries. My nephew is enthralled.

Good book!

Whoa, Anthony Horowitz! You are probably one of the best authors. Thumbs up for this book!

My middle school son loves this series. It's not too adult, but gives him the mystery, humor, detective book he enjoys. A little violence to round out the characters.

Diamond Brothers

My son and I are really enjoying the Diamond Brothers mysteries. We wish there were more out there. Horowitz does a great job with these, very entertaining. The Alex Rider books are a bit dark for a 5th grader but these have mystery and comedy without all the death. Already pre-ordered the September release.

Nick Brennan loved this book.

This was a fantastic book! It was two books in one, a great deal. In th first part Nick and Tim are asked by an American man to try and find out what happened to Lenny Smiles, the mysterious man that he had donated millions to. As the truth unravels esplosions, gunfights, and car chases frequent the pages. In the second section they are in Paris. They meet a mysterious steward who gives them a package of sugar while trying to tip them off about a drug smuggling ring between France and Britain. Police, sweet sellers, and Texas oil entrepuners are the new friends here. In the final section a reunion with a classmate becomes a weekend chalk full of murders and memories. This is an awsome book and should top you or beloved's Christmas list!!
