Trace Evidence

Kathy Reichs' Virals series has been an enormous hit with Young adult and adult readers alike. In this collection of short stories, Kathy ties up all the loose ends in Tory's world

Deception. Theft. Sabotage. And a look at where it all began.

Tory and the Virals have proven again and again that no crime is unsolvable when the pack is on the prowl. This amazing collection includes three short stories in print for the very first time, as well as a brand-new, never-before-seen Virals adventure set after the events of Terminal.

In “Spike,” Tory and her friends must stop a clever saboteur dead set on ruining Kit and Whitney’s wedding day, whatever the costs. Working with Tory’s famous great-aunt Temperance Brennan, these exciting stories give further glimpses into the Virals' world, and show the lengths the pack will go to when there’s a mystery to solve.

Includes Shift, Swipe, Shock, and Spike.

Reviews

Jolly gripping stuff

—— The Times

Another cracking mystery

—— Sunday Express

It's Agatha Christie for nine-year-olds with psychological insight from our Chinese heroine. Golly!

—— Spectator

Enough twists and turns to satisfy young readers . . . An exciting story

—— Sun

In her Murder Most Unladylike series, Robin Stevens has cleverly created a crossbreed of the detective and boarding school genres. The closeted, parent-free environment of Deepdean School for Girls provides a fertile breeding ground for intrigue and speculation. In this fourth title, the head girl Elizabeth - a tyrant in a gym slip - is murdered on Bonfire Night

—— Telegraph

Charlie is a feisty, funny girl who will appeal to pony-mad readers who'll devour all the inside knowledge of the equine world that Balding brings to her debut

—— Daily Mail

It's full of hilarious tiny details, which our sharp-eyed hero - and clever parents and children - can spot to solve the mysteries.

—— The Oxford Times

This is picture book storytelling at its best. Text and illustration perfectly integrated so that the eye moves easily across the page and the attention is held. Every page is carefully designed allowing different perspectives, creating excitement and movement through the juxtaposition of whole page and split page spreads as well as techniques adopted from graphic novel or film. There are not enough picture books that can reach older children. This is one - and it is a delight.

—— Books for Keeps

This is an utterly delightful book, packed with quirky text and illustrations and reall unusual.

—— Parents in Touch

How can you not want to read this book over and over again? How can you not want to share it with everyone you meet?

—— Xena's Mom , Librarian's Quest

Mini Grey is as skilful as ever as she unravels a complex, tragic and very funny story through action-packed illustrations, captions and speech bubbles.

—— Guardian Review

A gentle, entertaining story.

—— Daily Mail

A Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year—and it's an "Outstanding Merit" title!
