Description

Theo Duncan is just an ordinary student. Except he also happens to be the son of the Prime Minister, Will Duncan.

While Theo and Sammy grapple with work experience inside Parliament, Westminster is shaken by the discovery of a body in the Thames. All signs point to murder. Journalist Erin Connelly is convinced the death is connected to rumours of MPs planning to break away from Will Duncan’s party.

With security heightened, Sammy and Theo must be especially clever to evade detection as they work with Erin, question MPs and search the Palace of Westminster for clues.

The duo have one vital piece of evidence the police don’t have. But can they gather enough evidence to bring the murderer to justice before Will’s party tears itself apart and the murderer strikes again?

This book is the sequel to Mystery in the Palace of Westminster. It's recommended to read the books in series order. The series is perfect for mystery lovers aged 10 years plus.

Sarah Lustig does it again in the Westminster Mystery series, I enjoyed the mystery to this series and how it worked with the first book. I was invested in what was happening and enjoying the concept. The characters had that overall feel that I wanted and was glad I got to read this. I can’t wait to read more in this series and from Sarah Lustig.

This is the perfect sequel to the first instalment which I have reviewed and bought already. I love the characters and the fast pace. The writing is very accessible to its target readership.

Sarah Lustig's Body in the Thames is another exciting adventure in the halls of Westminster for teenagers Theo and Sammy, and a fun, quick, and engaging mystery to read. Theo is the prime minister's son, and Sammy is his friend from school, and together they work to discover who killed a young woman and tossed her body into the Thames. After some trouble earlier in the year (read Mystery in the Palace of Westminster for more details!) Theo has promised his father that he won't get himself involved in any future detective work and has also been forbidden from hanging out with Sammy outside of class, but that doesn't stop him from putting his life on the line in the course of their investigation! Fast-paced and quite educational (the inner workings of Parliament seem fascinating!), it's a delightful cozy! A+++
