Forget Sherlock Holmes - this dog detective will have children in suspense [...] A clever pastiche of classic detective fiction - The Telegraph 5* review of Watts & Whiskerton: Buried Bones and Troublesome Treasure

The third instalment in an adorable new highly-illustrated series bursting with mystery and mischief for readers aged 5+!

Watts is looking forward to a holiday at the Great Glacier Hotel and Ski Resort. But when they arrive, his and Pearl's quiet vacation soon turns into another high-stakes investigation: the priceless Ice Crystal has been stolen from the hotel safe, and his parents are the prime suspects!

Will Watts and Pearl be able to clear Mr and Mrs Watts' names? And will they be able to catch the real jewel thief? This dog and cat detective duo will have to navigate through heavy snow, suspicious staff, and a locked room mystery. But will they manage to ski, sleuth and save the day?
