This review is from: The Case of the Slingshot Sniper: A McGurk Mystery (Hardcover)

Crash! Bam! Whizz! Clatter! The Four Flying Fingers are back, only this time the little boys are not coming as suspects, they actually have a case for the McGurk Detective Organization. They want to hire the detectives to clear them from false charges. A case that has stumped the police for many years, a rambling old house has been the target of mysterious attacks. Windows have been broken but who is the attacker? Is it the work of a Slinghost Shiper, or are Evil Forces at work? It's up to ten-year-olds McGurk and his partners Willie, Wanda, Joey and Brains to crack the case!

I just love the McGurk mysteries, though I have only two ("The Case of the Slingshot Sniper" and "The Case of the Condemned Cat"). I wish the books weren't so hard to find. It's lots of fun for both younger kids and older kids and also the plot pretty well thought out, too. Don't miss out on the McGurk mysteries!
