Calling all mystery fans: The Werelock and Scratch Detective Agency needs you for their third case!

Can you help Werelock - the world's greatest (and only) werewolf detective - and his raven assistant, Scratch, on a daring rescue mission?


With puzzles, clues and riddles to work out, this hilarious, highly illustrated, werewolf-filled take on Sherlock Holmes needs the reader's help to crack the case!

The stakes are higher than ever as the famous werewolf crime writer, Mildred Mystery, has been kidnapped from a locked room! With only a mysterious ransom note as a clue, Werelock and Scratch must embark on a dangerous quest around Gothica City to find her.

Will they be able to get to Mildred before it's too late? Werelock and Scratch can't do it without you, dear reader, and there's no time to lose!

Long ago in the late 1900s, six-year-old K.R. decided that she was destined to do two things: write children's books; and set up a detective agency to solve quirky mysteries. And so began a decades-long adventure, via a much-loved job as a library assistant, a much-less-loved job stuffing envelopes, and a career as a lawyer... until finally, K.R.'s passion for children's books was reignited by the birth of her children. Now, with the creation of the Werelock and Scratch series, K.R. can finally get to work solving the quirkiest of puzzling mysteries in a world completely of her own making. K.R. Thompson was born in Essex, UK, grew up in South East London and now lives by the sea in West Sussex with her husband, two children, a cheeky cat and the occasional visiting hedgehog. When she isn't dreaming up stories and mysteries, K.R. can most often be found heading out for walks with a coffee in one hand, a reading book in the other, and a pocketful of snacks to nibble along the way. Binny Talib is an award-winning author, Illustrator and surface pattern designer, based in Sydney, Australia. Binny has a whimsical, contemporary style and has illustrated more than 40 books, ranging from picture, baby board, non-fiction and chapter books.
