Book Review

Agent Zaiba Investigates The Haunted House is the best book that I have ever read!

Agent Zaiba Investigates The Haunted House is the best book that I have ever read!

I like how there is always a new piece of evidence to think about. This book is quite interactive, meaning you can get involved and try and figure out who the culprit is before Zaiba does. All the action in the book takes place over just two nights. There was a twist near the end that was completely unexpected.

Alexandra, one of the guests at a party at the beginning of the book, was quite dreadful. Smashing windows, writing messages, accusing innocent people and worst of all, trying to sneak away when the Snow Leopard Detective Agency UK was telling everyone the truth. She deserved everything she got.

I think that this book will amaze anyone who reads it. I hope other people enjoy reading it as much as I did. I also loved the illustrations. They really matched the descriptions in the book.

Agent Zaiba Investigates takes a while to get into. At first, I was not sure I was enjoying it, but after the incident in the library, I knew it was a good book. I have already asked for the next book in the series and can’t wait to start reading it.
