When the tyrannical family patriarch Sir Ignatious Gristle is murdered on his 90th birthday at his country estate, every one of his gathered family members is a suspect. Trapped by a snowstorm with no way to contact the police, it's up to his mettlesome granddaughter, Edna, and her trusted tortoise, Charles Darwin, to determine whodunnit!
Full of head-scratching clues, page-turning twists and a lot people acting suspiciously, this is the first in a spoofy middle-grade murder mystery series. Outrageously funny and lavishly illustrated – a verbal and visual treat!
