What Went Wrong With Mrs Milliard's Mech?: An… Tekijä: I.H. Laking
This was a straightforward mystery story, very clearly in the vein of Sherlock Holmes, with the same avoidance of direct violence and a very tidy solution at the end. I read this book to my 5 year old, and he loved it. He did stop me frequently to ask questions, and he was frightened enough for a portion that we had to take a break, but as soon as it was done he asked me to read the next story in the series.
Following on from What Went Wrong with Mrs Milliard’s Mech, Inspector Ambrose and Detective Percy have another mysterious case that needs urgent attention.
Each Inspector Ambrose novel can be read as a stand alone as each story involves a different case and it is solved by the end of the book. (Inspector Ambrose is that clever!)
This is a fast paced story full of mystery, suspense and a touch of humour set in a futuristic steampunk world and is suitable for readers aged 7 – 12 years.… (lisätietoja)

A steampunk novel set in the capital of The Empire.
In this first story of the series we are introduced to our protagonist, Inspector Ambrose. He is a fastidious perfectionist who likes to have his house in order, his uniform perfect and his shoes shined. Every good detective must have a side-kick and Ambrose has Detective Percy. Said side-kick must be prone to bumbling, sloppiness and lateness but must also be devoted to his job. Percy fits the bill perfectly.
The plot moves along nicely and the language doesn’t try to dumb down the reader whilst also flowing easily for children.
This is a good starting point for younger readers 7 – 12 years to get a taste of a futuristic steampunk mystery.
