Murder on the Safari Star (Adventures on Train)

Product Information

Hal, who was outside the room at the time, doesn't believe it was an accident, but he'll have to prove it, if anyone is going to believe him. The investigation begins. We also got a teeeeeeeny sneak peek at the next book and I think it will be another corker – I’m liking the set up already. Ik had zo mijn vermoedens over wie hét gedaan had, na een tijdje, en ik bleek gelijk te krijgen ook, al wist ik niet waarom. Maar hoe je het ook draait of keert: zoals gewoonlijk gaat het in elk geval weer om een heleboel details die uiteindelijk één grote, volledige puzzel vormen. En dat is natuurlijk wel de bedoeling, dat is ook wat ik in dit verhaal verwachtte en wilde. Gevaar op safari is deel drie van de Dader op het spoor serie. Hierin gaat Alex telkens met zijn oom Ben op reis, waar hij de spannendste dingen meemaakt. In de Safari Star wordt de spanning wel erg hoog wanneer blijkt dat er een moord is gepleegd. Dit moet haast wel gedaan zijn door iemand die aanwezig is op deze trein. Brilliantly written and with a gripping case at its heart, it has all the hallmarks of a classic mystery story, with red herrings, twists, surprises, a gloriously drawn cast of characters, intricate plotting and even poisonous snakes.

The safari element felt great as well - really respectful of the animals and explaining about hunting and endangered species. And I obviously loved Chipo, as he's adorable! This series really is wonderful! Honestly, I just want to go on awesome train trips around the world. They are so full of love for trains and mysteries, it really shines out from the books. I felt that this was a little more contrived than the first two, but only in the sense that the crime feels a little engineered. Which is forgivable, as I doubt the series would work if Hal and Nat just went for a plain old train ride 😉 Aside from all that, it was great to see Hal work his magic on another mystery. And also to see a friend that was less than convinced (at least at first!) by his snooping, and to see a detective who respects his skills. Join Hal and Uncle Nat as they plunge straight into an exciting mystery – this time while on Safari! A high-speed train journey worth catching . . .The best yet' - The Times on Murder on the Safari StarI really love how well-crafted and thoughtful these books are. There's such a lot here to latch onto - the adventure, the friendships, the trains (even if you're like me - these books make them interesting!), or the sheer joy of a solid, bold, and brilliantly told adventure story. Book Genre: Adventure, Animals, Childrens, Contemporary, Crime, ers, Fiction, Middle Grade, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, rs, Thriller I have a station announcement: their collaboration is a chuffing triumph. Fans of Agatha Christie, or, more recently, Robin Stevens and Katherine Woodfine, should adore this mystery which makes a steam trail all of its own. - The Times Children's Book of the Week Waar de Dader op het spoor boeken goed in zijn, is de enorme spanning, mysterie en de plottwisten. Al vanaf het begin van het boek weet je, door de vorige delen, dat er iets gaat gebeuren. Hierdoor ga je alvast nadenken wat er zou kunnen gebeuren en wie hiermee te maken kan hebben. Algauw wordt duidelijk dat het om een moord gaat en ga je meedenken over wie de dader kan zijn. Leonard en Sedgman weten je hierbij telkens op een 'verkeerd spoor' te zetten. Het blijft hierdoor spannend en het plot was weer een verassing. Het eerste dat me opviel toen ik in dit derde boek begon, was dat de vertaling van Anne Douqué was. En al kon ik me niet herinneren wie de vorige twee verhalen had gedaan, van haar had ik nog nooit gehoord. Het was in elk geval een aangename kennismaking. Het las vlot, snel, geen rare zinnen, geen typfouten. Mooie Nederlandse uitgave!

A high-speed train journey worth catching . . .The best yet' – The Times on Murder on the Safari Star Zal Alex deze zaak weer weten op de lossen, of is de recherche die dit keer aan boort is, sneller dan hem? I would absolutely recommend this series to Readers of all ages. The books are always engaging and fast-paced, with a great group of characters and wonderful illustrations. PDF / EPUB File Name: Murder_on_the_Safari_Star_-_M_G_Leonard.pdf, Murder_on_the_Safari_Star_-_M_G_Leonard.epubCute animals aside though, you should be warned, this mystery is the most sinister and dangerous yet! Hal and Uncle Nat continue to shine and their relationship is always so genuinely portrayed. Because they are so grounded now in who they are, I'm always excited to see how they interact with a new cast of characters, and who Hal makes friends with next. I loved Hal's new friendship with Winston and even the mongoose Chipo. Each new setting and each new cast of characters presents different challenges to Hal and Uncle Nat and I just love watching them navigate it all.
