A British PI finds a body in a box in this mystery with “a nice
twist waiting at the end” (Kirkus Reviews). As he leaves St
Monkey’s after choir practice, private investigator Joe Sixsmith
makes a heartbreaking discovery in the church graveyard: the body of a
boy in a cardboard box. The police think it’s just another drug
overdose, another homeless kid who’s become a casualty of the
streets. But Joe can’t get this death out of his mind. Though his
casebook is already full, he’s intent on taking a look around Luton
to learn the truth. But as usual, he has to elude his matchmaking aunt
Mirabelle at the same time . . . “Poking and probing among the
village’s down-and-outs as well as its upper crust, Joe keeps at it
until he discovers the shocking secrets of some of the town’s most
prominent citizens. A blend of Chaplin and Clouseau, Joe Sixsmith is
endearingly funny, but he also has an unerring knack for discovering
some of life’s most serious truths in the midst of his bumbling
misadventures. An outstanding read.” —Booklist “Joe juggles
clues, threats, and assaults with equal distinction.” —Kirkus
