'AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT TO READ, WITH LOTS OF CHARMING AND QUIRKY CHARACTERS' -- Better Reading

Freja and her mother, Clementine, are reunited at last. Tobias and Vivi are in love. And Lucerne, their new home, is a paradise of snowy alps, sapphire lakes, white swans, and delicious Swiss chocolate!

Everything seems perfect, until poor Lady P appears, bandaged from head to toe after a fallβ€”or was it a push? Crimes break out across the city, all involving chocolate. Clementine doesn't seem her usual self. And still, Freja has not solved the biggest mysteryβ€”who is Tobias Appleby?

All will be revealed in the girl, the dog, and the writer's final adventure by award-winning Australian author Katrina Nannestad.
