Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

β€˜I adored The Case Of The Lighthouse Intruder. A spirited and brilliantly written mystery set on an island off the coast of Jamaica. The first book in a fabulous new series featuring #TheGreatestGangOfAllTime. A great read.’ – Kevin Cobane, Teacher

β€˜Absolutely excellent! Fully realised characters and a well-drawn landscape keep you hooked until the last page. Perfect for younger readers ready for mysteries without dark themes. The island setting and sensory writing bring the story to life. The peril centres on friendship rather than crime. Ideal for fans of Blyton, Jo Clarke or Sarah Todd Taylor.’ – Fleur Hitchcock, Bookseller
