Calling all mystery fans: The Werelock and Scratch Detective Agency needs you!

Can you help Werelock - the world's greatest (and only) werewolf detective - and his raven assistant, Scratch, save the day before it's too late?

Hot off the heels of their triumphant first case, Werelock and Scratch have a thief to track down.

An all-powerful Crystal has been taken, along with clues to uncover four more. The trail to find the missing Crystal is full of danger and our daring duo must face off against a mysterious new villain.

If the villain gets their hands on all five Crystals, they'll be unstoppable. Will our brave werewolf detective, his trusty raven assistant and you, dear reader, get there first?

With puzzles, clues and riddles to work out, this hilarious, highly illustrated, inventive second Werelock and Scratch mystery needs the reader's help to crack the case!

Children's Books Children's Fiction Children’s, Teenage and Educational K.R. Thompson Series: Werelock and Scratch Young Adult Young Adult Mystery & Thriller

About the Author

Long ago in the late 1900s, six-year-old K.R. decided that she was destined to do two things: write children's books; and set up a detective agency to solve quirky mysteries. And so began a decades-long adventure, via a much-loved job as a library assistant, a much-less-loved job stuffing envelopes, and a career as a lawyer... until finally, K.R.'s passion for children's books was reignited by the birth of her children. Now, with the creation of the Werelock and Scratch series, K.R. can finally get to work solving the quirkiest of puzzling mysteries in a world completely of her own making.

K.R. Thompson was born in Essex, UK, grew up in South East London and now lives by the sea in West Sussex with her husband, two children, a cheeky cat and the occasional visiting hedgehog. When she isn't dreaming up stories and mysteries, K.R. can most often be found heading out for walks with a coffee in one hand, a reading book in the other, and a pocketful of snacks to nibble along the way.
