Sherlock Bones and the Horror of the Haunted Castle

Sherlock Bones and Dr. Carson are hired to investigate a ghost at a kennel (aka castle) in Transylvania.

This one was so fun! It was the first of these I’ve read, but I definitely want to go back and read the other ones! I loved the characters and the story was fun and captivating. It also has fun puzzles for kids to do. This combined my two childhood loves - dogs and mysteries so I think children will love it. I just wish there had been more illustrations because they were so cute!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy in exchange for an honest review!

I am a huge fan of the series and have every book of the series in my collection already. I also bought multiple copies of the series to be given to my students as gifts.

It is a very well written story with cute illustrations and engaging puzzles. I have to say though that the mystery can be easily solved as the clues are a bit obvious.

I love Sherlock Bones and this story is lovely and a lot of fun. Lovely illustrations.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Great book for a younger audience with the addition of some fun little interactive puzzles throughout. This one will definitely keep the little ones well entertained.

I used to love this type of book when I was a kid and reading Sherlok Bones and the Horror of the Haunted Castle reminded me how much I loved solving mysteries.
The characters and stories are really cute and funny. And I liked the story.

The enigma perfectly illustrated the story and are fun the play with.

I recommend this book for kids or for people who love to solve mysteries

Perfect for spooky season! This book is a great read with fab illustrations and a variety of puzzles to solve along the way.

I haven't read the previous books in the series but will do now - and you don't have to to enjoy this one. The duo of Bones and Catson is a fun pairing and kids will enjoy their adventures. I really like an interactive element in a book, so the puzzles are great - and will definitely help engage those youngsters who aren't the biggest fans of reading!

This book is great and has everything you need - a captivating story, fun main characters, great illustrations and an exciting interactive element. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed the puzzle books myself when I was younger and wanted to find a modern one to introduce to my class. Sherlock Bones definitely fits my requirements. The story line is engaging with a whole host of characters including Sherlock Bones and the ever-faithful Catson. The illustrations complemented the story and were sprinkled throughout. The puzzles were a wide assortment of different things and I can imagine my children sharing this book in pairs and working on the puzzles together.
I'll definitely be looking out for more.

I really enjoyed this fun mystery with puzzles included. I enjoyed the subtle changes to names to fit in with the cat and dog characters. I would definitely recommend this for younger readers who enjoy puzzles and mysteries.
