Maisie Hitchins longs to be a detective. She’s sure there are lots of adventures to be had on the streets of Victorian London. And, together with her faithful puppy, Eddie, she is determined to follow even the slightest scent of a mystery – no matter what!

In Book 5 of the Maisie Hitchins series, Maisie is intrigued by a new lodger, Mr Fred Grange, who isn’t quite what he seems… Mr Grange claims to work as a clerk for a biscuit company, but he’s out and about on the London streets at odd hours, and Maisie soon discovers something very precious hidden in his rooms. Determined to unmask him as a thief, she soon discovers that the truth is far more complicated – and dangerous. Before long, Maisie and her friends are led into a web of mystery lurking underground…

A fantastic mystery series from best-selling author Holly Webb, packed with adventure, Maisie Hitchins is perfect for readers aged six to eight years.

It was good because it was Maisie's first time going on an underground. When they got home there was someone wanting to get a room but it turned out he was someone from the sparrow gang.

I would recommend this book to children who want to be detectives because this book is all about mysterious and bad art thieves, and detective work. Maisie wants to be a detective like Gilbert Carrington. She thinks there is a lot of undiscovered mysteries on the streets of Victorian London. This book is also quite a laugh through the reading.

This book was a very clever mystery for Maisie to solve where she catches a true criminal red handed. Awesome case for an awesome detective.
