(listened to the german audiobook read by kai schwindt) the second-best three investigators book imo (after karpatenhund). i love how colorful and a bit over the top the characters are portrayed and the story never gets boring. the solution is a bit too easy to guess for me, but keeping in mind that this is a children’s book it’s not really an issue, it rather shows that the mystery is well mapped out and can be solved by the reader along with the three detectives. !!! SPOILER AHEAD !!! also, the fact that this is the only three investigators story that involves something supernatural that /doesn‘t/ get de-mystified? supreme. love that shit. i love that it’s a core element of the series that all mysteries can be solved by a logical solution, but i love even more that there’s this one exception.
