Customer Reviews

Deadly fun . . . another Clue masterpiece!

I was introduced to the Clue series with this book, "Death By Candlelight." I still enjoy reading it. Mr. Boddy has invited his six best friends, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, and Mrs. Peacock, to stay at his mansion for the weekend. Of course, with these murderous people as company, you don't know what you can expect! Some stories include "The White Elephant Murder," where a crime is committed over a marble elephant, "Boddy's Byte," where Mr. Boddy assigns his guests passwords for a computerized security system, "Creature Features," where the guests try to steal a watch hidden in their popcorn while they watch horror flicks, "Hats Off!," where the guests try on some historical hats, "In the Swim," where the guests try to save a drowning Mr. Boddy, and "Death By Candlelight," where murders a committed over a life insurance policy worth three million dollars. Is there anything more I should say?

Incredible

I love the Clue series, and this is the best book there is out of the 17 I've read (I've never seen Footprints in the Fog, the 18th and final book). Virtually all the stories are interesting, and "Boddy's Byte", "Creature Features" and "The Fake Fruit Frolic" are wonderful. Long live Professer Plum!

Excellent

This was a great book. I am very disapointed they stopped printing this series, & if anyone finds a place where they sell them on the internet please email me at emilyg5@juno.com.

Another wonderful Clue book! Marie Jacks has done it again!

Reginald Boddy, (Mr. Boddy), is one of the world's richest men. He has invited six guests, Mr. Green, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, and Mrs. Peacock over for the weekend. But these guests love to steal Mr. Boddy's things, not to mention murder. Chapters feature the stealing of a valuable white elephant, a missing collector coin, Mr. Boddy's missing gold watch, plus many more. Clue is an absolutely wonderful series, and I'll recommend them to anyone who will listen. READ THIS BOOK TODAY!!
