The Usborne Detective's Handbook

Learn a variety of detective skills and tricks through a mix of fun instructions and puzzles
It's back! Usborne's much-loved handbook that teaches YOU how to be a detective. Follow Detectives Diss and Datt and their team as they investigate all sorts of nefarious criminals and wrong-doers.

A mix of step-by-step instructions and comic strips explains all the tricks detectives use to find clues at a crime scene, uncover evidence, follow a trail, interview suspects and witnesses, see through disguises and lies. Each example also features a story to show how the detectives use these skills, and there are all sorts of puzzles that readers can solve to see if they can identify crooks, spot strange goings on, and make sense of different clues.

The characters and situations in the book are all made-up, and appropriate for kids age 8 and up to read about and enjoy. The tips and tricks are all safe to use in and around the home. But, do note, these tricks are all GENUINE detective skills, that would help any budding detective who might dream of becoming a crime-solving sleuth when they grow up.
