Featuring an amazingly perceptive Edwardian child blessed with a talent for solving village puzzles, Betty Blake provides us with a glimpse of a future amateur detective in the making. Betty begins her sleuthing at age nine continuing through to age twelve. Her cases include pillar box puzzles to headless ducks, a stolen emerald ring and the death of a solicitor's wife - not to mention a ghostly disturbance on a golf course. For someone so young and precocious - no case is a burden or unsolvable!
