Mystery at the Manor

Montgomery Bonbon, Book 3

De: Alasdair Beckett-King

Narrado por: Alasdair Beckett-King

Bonbon is back in the third installment of the clever and funny 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?

The Bourbon Bookcase Review
Title: Montgomery BonBon: Mystery at the Manor
Author: Alasdair Beckett-King
Shelf Placement: Top Shelf

This series just keeps getting better. Mystery at the Manor was everything I wanted it to be—smart, funny, and filled with just the right amount of intrigue. It’s got that perfect balance of clever plotting and warmhearted fun that makes it just as enjoyable for adults as it is for kids.

Montgomery BonBon is one of those characters you can't help but root for. It’s such a joy to read something that leans into classic mystery vibes but still feels fresh and original. Another win for the BonBon crew, and we had a blast reading it together.

Summary:
Detective Montgomery BonBon (aka Bonnie Montgomery in disguise) returns to solve another delightfully twisty mystery. This time, it’s a suspicious death at a quiet country manor, and BonBon is on the case—with a trench coat, a fake mustache, and an endless supply of sharp questions. Packed with humor, puzzles, and heart.

Vibe:
Classic whodunnit with a modern voice. Feels like Agatha Christie got a fun, kid-friendly remix.

Who I’d Recommend It To:
Perfect for mystery-loving kids, nostalgic adults, and families looking for a story that’s genuinely fun to read out loud. This series has quickly become a favorite.
