Detective Marlow: The Case of the Missing Smile

By Connor Baddley

Book Overview

A big mystery. A loyal partner. An adventure that leads to what really matters.

When Murphy the Dalmatian loses his smile, little Detective Marlow is on the case. Together they question pigeons, follow mysterious paw prints, and search the whole city - but the answer to this mystery is closer than any clue.

Styled like a vintage 1930s case file, Detective Marlow: The Case of the Missing Smile is a cozy read-aloud mystery for little detectives ages 3-7. With richly detailed illustrations, a hidden four-leaf clover to find in nearly every scene, and a "This Case File Belongs To" page to make it their own, it's a book made for reading again and again.

Some things are never really lost. A detective just has to know where to look.

A perfect gift for little detectives, dog lovers, and anyone who believes every adventure is better together.
