Series: Adventures of Sherlock Bones

Sherlock Bones, the world’s greatest dog detective, and his trusty sidekick Dr Jane Catson are back for another crime-solving adventure.

When a wealthy dog spots a ghostly figure haunting her castle in the Catpathian Mountains, she come to Bones and Catson for help. Bones is convinced there’s no such things as ghosts ... but even he’s at a loss to explain the creepy sounds and strange goings-on that he and Catson encounter after a night in the crumbling castle. Things get even more spooky when Bones is suddenly called back to London, leaving Catson to crack the case on her own. Can Catson unmask the ghost and escape the haunted castle in one piece?

The fourth book in Buster’s Sherlock Bones mystery fiction series features 28 puzzles – including spot-the-differences, number chains and tangled line games – that are woven into the action, so the reader feels immersed in the exciting detective plot. Told across 14 chapters, this thrilling story is perfect for middle-grade readers.

Reviews for Sherlock Bones and the Horror of the Haunted Castle: A Puzzle Quest

A good romp of a mystery -- The School Librarian on 'Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels' by Tim Collins A good romp of a mystery * The School Librarian on 'Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels' * A very interesting concept, slightly reminiscent of the 'Choose your own Adventure' books. This will appeal to key stage 2 readers, especially those who may have reading difficulties and encourages collaboration among readers, with one reading the story and the other solving the puzzles. * The School Librarian on ‘Sherlock Bones and the Curse of the Pharaoh’s Mask’ *
