This was a cute juvenile chapter book. William was the policeman of his time during
the reign of Elizabeth the First. Now he
haunts Hardleigh Manor. When the manor
is turned into a museum, William meets Thomas, the grandson of the
groundskeeper. With his help, William
tries to channel Sherlock Holmes and solve small mysteries around the villages.
The book is very English so I’m not sure how many kids in
the US will understand some of the language.
Aside from that the book is cute and the characters are
interesting. The chapters are quite
short so young readers can stay engaged.
The mysteries are quite basic and have some surprises.
I could see this book delighted various readers and is a
fun read for all.
