Synopsis

Named one of “13 Detective Book Series You Obsessed Over as a Kid” by BuzzFeed and the inspiration for a hit Disney film, the masterful Great Mouse Detective is back and ready to find out what happened when two royal princes disappear!

With Sherlock Holmes away on a case, Basil and Doctor Dawson find themselves at loose ends until an urgent message arrives: Basil’s services are required by the noblemice of Marlborough House!

Marlborough House is the home of Edward, the Prince of Wales (second child and eldest son of Queen Victoria) who lives there with various children and family members. Unbeknownst to the human royals, there is a corresponding clan of noblemice living there as well. At the moment, the human royal family is hosting the visiting royal family of Bohemia, along with that family’s corresponding group of stowaway noblemice. However, the teen noblemice of both houses have vanished without a trace and everyone fears that one of the royal dogs may be responsible for the disappearance. Can Basil help?

It’s going to require all of the great detective’s skills to solve this case! Especially since it involves princes and pups, royal mice, the latest in photographic equipment, and a possible love match…but they don’t call Basil the Great Mouse Detective for nothing.

Officially worried about the new series -- I know they're little kids' books, but kids aren't dumb and it's bad form to spoil the mystery like this one does!......more

Goodreads review by Kathleen on March 14, 2021

You guys! There's new Basil of Baker Street books, and they don't suck! This is not to say that they're good, mind you. They lean a little heavily on Dawson's interest in cheese, Basil's interest in nothing but Sherlock Holmes, and Ratigan. In addition, these books focus on one case each, whereas the......more
