David Walliams, a master of whimsical storytelling and mischief, embarks on a thrilling new journey with his first foray into murder mystery in the delightfully captivating Super Sleuth. This enchanting novel promises a blend of laughter, suspense, and unexpected twists that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.

Dilly, a bright and curious young girl, is no stranger to the lure of a good mystery. With a passion ignited by her favourite fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, Dilly has dedicated much of her time to solving the quaint puzzles of everyday life. Her canine companion, Watson, named after the great detective’s loyal sidekick, joins her in these amateur adventures, using his keen sense of smell to aid their intriguing pursuits.

However, events take a more sinister turn as Dilly and Watson board a luxurious ocean liner on a voyage to London. Amongst the opulent surroundings and the roiling expanse of the sea, the duo finds themselves entangled in a web of intrigue far more intense than any biscuit-nabbing escapade. With a thousand passengers on board, each with their own secrets, the ship is a prime setting for misdeeds—but this time, the stakes are real.

As the night deepens and mysteries unravel, Dilly must rely on her wit and Watson's instincts to uncover the truth behind a spate of suspicious incidents. Could there be a serial perpetrator plotting their next diabolical move amidst the waves?

Super Sleuth offers an irresistible blend of excitement, wit, and challenge, promising readers an unforgettable maritime mystery experience. Filled with Walliams’s characteristic humour and an engaging cast of characters, this book is an absolute must-read for fans of clever detective tales.
