Description
'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 fallβor 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 mysteryβwho 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.
