    About this ebook

    Can YOU solve the case of Tiger Island?

    Join Violet Remy-Robinson, an amateur Sherlock Holmes in the making, on her fifth adventure…
     
    Violet and her friends can’t believe their luck when they’re invited to a wedding on a tropical island. But when old enemies the Du Plicitouses show up at the same hotel, and a valuable figurine goes missing, Violet is sure the sneaky family are behind it. It’s a race against time – and a hungry tiger – to uncover the truth and make sure the big day goes to plan.

    Complete with two-colour illustrations throughout by Becka Moor, this is a fresh and funny mystery and readers will fall in love with Violet’s quirky charm. Perfect for fans of Dixie O’Day, Ottoline and Goth Girl.

      Violet and the Mystery of Tiger Island - Harriet Whitehorn

      This book begins with the popping of a champagne cork and the happy clinking of glasses. It was a warm summer evening in late June and the Remy-Robinsons were having a party.

      ‘Congratulations on your engagement!’ Violet, Rose and Art all cried together, grinning at PC Green and Dolores.

      WHAT?! I hear you cry. Are you really trying to tell me that lovely, sensible Dolores was going to marry the sweet but rather foolish PC Green? Well yes, that was exactly what was happening. And, as they were SO delighted about it, everyone else was pleased too. Everyone except Dolores’s family, that is, but we’ll get to that in a minute.

      Camille had decided to throw the happy couple a small engagement party to celebrate, inviting Dee Dee, Art, and Rose and her parents. In the end, only Maeve, Rose’s mother, had been able to come, as Rose’s father and brothers were away for the weekend.

      ‘Well done,’ Benedict said, shaking PC Green’s hand. ‘You must have been amazed when she said yes.’ He turned to Dolores. ‘Are you really sure about this?’

      ‘Yes, quite sure,’ Dolores laughed, bending down to stroke Violet’s cat, Pudding, who was being unusually sociable, and weaving between people’s legs.

      ‘And we have something else exciting to tell you too,’ PC Green said. ‘Clever Dolores has won a competition in Hi! magazine, and you’ll never guess what the prize is!’

      ‘A new fiancé?’ Benedict asked, and Camille shot him a look.

      ‘A free wedding and holiday for us and five guests on a tropical island!’

      Everyone said things like, ‘Wow!’ and ‘That’s amazing!’ and ‘Lucky you!’

      ‘It’s called Tiger Island and it looks stunning. I’ve brought pictures to show you,’ PC Green explained, holding up the magazine. ‘The hotel is tiny and the island is really small – there are no cars and you can walk round it in an hour.’

      They all looked at the photos and it did indeed look beautiful, with white sand and bright blue sea.

      ‘Are those tree houses?’ Art asked.

      ‘Yes,’ Dolores replied. ‘The hotel has a small main house with a couple of bedrooms and everyone else sleeps in tree houses.’

      ‘That’s so cool,’ Art said.

      Rose and Violet made agreeing noises.

      ‘The island used to be an animal sanctuary, owned by an eccentric millionaire named Jock Campbell. When he died, he left it to his daughter, who decided to turn it into a hotel, and she has kept some of the animals, including the tiger, apparently.’

      ‘It looks like the most fun place in the world,’ Violet said longingly.

      ‘We thought you might feel that way,’ PC Green said, smiling at the children. ‘So Dolores and I would like you to come too!’

      Violet, Art and Rose’s mouths fell open at the same time, like a row of baby birds waiting to be fed.

      ‘With Mrs Derota and one of your parents too, if that would be okay?’ Dolores asked Camille and Benedict and Maeve. ‘I’m sorry we can’t have all of you, but our prize is limited to five guests and, as we feel that the children and Mrs Derota brought Percy and I together, we’d really love them to be there.’

      Violet was the first to recover from the shock.

      ‘That’s so kind of you!’ she exclaimed. ‘Are you sure?’

      ‘Absolutely,’ Dolores replied. ‘Percy is an orphan so he doesn’t have any family and mine won’t come to the wedding,’ she said, looking sad.

      ‘Why on earth not?’ Dee Dee cried.

      ‘Because they want me to marry Barry, my old boyfriend,’ said Dolores.

      ‘I can see why they might prefer him,’ PC Green said, with a sigh. ‘He’s much richer, cleverer, better-looking and more successful than me, and he’s a spy. In fact, he’s pretty similar to James Bond.’

      ‘He’s not a spy,’ Dolores said, smiling. ‘His job is to catch international thieves and con artists.’

      ‘That’s exactly what I want to do when I grow up,’ Violet said matter-of-factly.

      ‘And I’m sure you will,’ Dolores said, and she turned back to PC Green. ‘But you mustn’t worry about Barry. He doesn’t make me laugh like you do, Percy.’ She took PC Green’s hand. ‘Besides, I don’t love him.’

      ‘Well, I think you make the most gorgeous couple,’ said Dee Dee stoutly. ‘And that is a most fabulous invitation. Art and I would be delighted to come if we possibly can. When is the wedding?’

      ‘In a couple of months’ time, at the end of August, so it’s in the school holidays,’ Dolores said. ‘And we can all stay for a few days before the wedding and have a nice holiday.’

      ‘We don’t have any plans for August so yes, we’ll definitely come!’ Dee Dee replied. ‘Although I’d better sleep in the house – I’m a little old to be climbing up to a tree house. Oh my, a beach wedding! How romantic.’

      ‘That’s great news,’ PC Green said, high-fiving Art. ‘Would you do me the honour of being my best man, Art?’

      ‘Of course,’ Art replied and then added, ‘as long as I don’t have to wear a suit.’

      ‘Nope, it’s going to be very casual.’

      ‘Oh, what about a nice little suit with a bow tie? He would look so cute!’ Dee Dee said.

      Dolores saw Art’s face and said quickly, ‘Really, shorts and a shirt is fine.’

      Dee Dee looked disappointed. ‘Of course, it’s your wedding, my dear.’

      ‘And I was hoping you two could be my bridesmaids?’ Dolores asked Violet and Rose.

      The girls beamed and looked hopefully at their mothers.

      ‘That’s so sweet of you,’ Camille said. ‘Of course Violet can come, though I’m afraid I’m away then on a business trip,’ she went on, consulting her diary.

      Rose looked anxious. ‘I would love to go,’
