Tasked with delivering a priceless diamond to Adderstone Manor, she finds herself in a web of deceit when retired thief Fergus Croke is found dead. With four suspects, all crooks, and a maze of hidden identities, Bonbon must unravel the mystery. Aided by Grampa Banks and her undercover friend, she races against time to catch the killer. Will Bonbon's wit and courage be enough to solve the case before the next victim falls?

From the publisher

Bonbon is back in the third installment of the clever and funny illustrated murder mystery series. But tensions run high when she’s surrounded by crooks. Bonnie Montgomery (as her case-cracking alter ego Montgomery Bonbon) has been tasked with delivering a priceless diamond to Adderstone Manor, the home of retired master thief Fergus Croke. The plot thickens faster than a good roux when Croke is found dead hours later, and every one of his four protégés is suspected of the dirty deed. But when everyone is a crook, how does even the great Bonbon know where to begin? With the help of Grampa Banks and an undercover best friend, it’s not long before Bonbon uncovers hidden identities, motives a-many, and a rather surprising hedge maze full of monkeys. But can they catch the killer before it’s too late?
