What to expect
Meet RORY BRANAGAN – he eats bad guys for breakfast. Well, not ACTUALLY. But he IS the best detective in town. Fourth in the hilarious comedy-crime book series for kids, RORY BRANAGAN (DETECTIVE).
Hello. I am Rory Branagan. I am DEFINITELY a detective.
An absolutely HUGE crime has been committed at my school . . . Nobody likes our head dinner lady, but WHO would actually try to KILL her? And WHY? It's up to me and my Accomplice, Cassidy 'the Cat' Callaghan, to solve our DEADLIEST crime yet.
There are seven books in the RORY BRANAGAN (DETECTIVE) series and this is the fourth.
Perfect for children aged 8 and up, and all children at heart.
