The mystery of the midnight crunch

 Simon Mitchell, illustrated by James Davis
Five Mile Press
ISBN: 9781743467251           RRP: $14.95

Calling Detective Sniffy Mouse! A monster has raided Mrs Hopper’s house. But there are no monsters, he tells side-kick Cooper. Still, there are reputations to protect and a mystery is a mystery – B-grade movie style or not. There’s no noir here though; just hilarious, scary and colourful fun as Sniff and Coop hunt down the clues and set the trap for the night intruder. Is this monster for real? Comical cartoon-style drawings add to the chaotic film-like amusement. More investigations Detective Sniffy are promised to follow.
