Synopsis

A fabled diamond, a 113-year-old artist with a gift for secret codes, a bucket of cold porridge and two Agaton Saxes? Even for the famous sleuth of Byköping, this is proving to be an unusual summer!
In a case that will take him from his sleepy hometown to the streets of London, via an unexpectedly upside-down helicopter, Agaton Sax will have his work cut out for him this time. And Aunt Matilda isn’t happy about it at all…
The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature.
Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.

42 WORD REVIEW: The fourth book in Franzén’s detective series but the first in English translation. Agaton Sax retains his customary self-assurance, yet the story in this instance seems a little extemporised and so he ends up in pursuit rather than mastery of the plot.......more

Goodreads review by Tommy on December 16, 2017

Het boek leest snel en bevat een fikse dosis spanning en mysterie. De tegenstelling tussen super-detective en een tante die de baas speelt en vele andere plaatsen in het verhaal waar mag gelachen worden, komt bij mij niet echt goed over. Waarschijnlijk door mijn leeftijd, hopelijk gaat dat wel beter......more
