Genre: Mystery / Detective
In London, Arthur Drake is the grandson of his grandfather Arthur Drake. The Invisible Detective seen by noone and no one knew what he looked like but his name was Brandon Lake. He is actually a made up character created by four kids that solve everyone's questions and Arthur's grandpa was one of them. The other three were, Johnny who runs really fast, Meg can tell if someone is lying or not, and Flinch is someone who lives in the den of the cannoniers. The cannoniers are made up of these four kids.
Mysterious things have been happening in the town and Arthur had been given the Invisible Detective's casebook from his grandad. An old rumor of a beast in the sewers has come back to life after people seeing dead cats floating around, bleeding and injured. Arthur discovers that his grandad has gone missing and wonder if he went looking for the monster lurking below.
After a strange bank robbery, and the death of a drunk civilian in the sewers, the four kids go looking for clues. They soon realize that there wasn’t only the murder of some drunk guy, but also several cats that had been severely scratched and ripped to pieces. But how could the dead cats be linked to the bank robbery? Mr Fredericks came in to tell Brandon Lake that his cat ‘Tiger’ was missing. But Meg wasn’t so sure it was true, at least not the whole truth. So the crew set forth to help him with the loss of the cat but they soon get told that he saw a MONSTER crawling back into the sewers. Was that the creature that broke into the bank and stole the money, and did it kill those cats?
I liked how the story went back and forth into 1936 and then changing to the present where Arthur Drake's grandad is old and young.
I didn’t really dislike anything about the book.
Rate: 4 / 5
