Review: Montgomery BonBon #4: Sabotage at Sea

Montgomery Bonbon Sabotage at Sea by Alasdair Beckett-King, girl dressed as a detective swinging on a rope past an old shipThe newest book in the series! This time BonBon plays a home game as the mystery takes place at Bonnie’s town.

🥰 The mystery was oh so much fun! And confuddling. Not just to the reader but also to BonBon. Nothing is what it seems and people are very dedicated to keeping secrets.
🥰 I also love BonBon’s character! Bonnie is really adding a lot of flair and personality to it all. Though I do hope that she goes to learn some more foreign words to add to her vocabulary, I would love to see that!
🥰 Reading about the town of Widdlington, including the fair/carnival on the pier and the fun things to do there.
🥰 Dana is here and she is such a fun addition to the team in this one. Helps out with some facts, helps with the costume, helps with the investigation in a non-intrusive/annoying way, I loved seeing her figure out pranks (though she is still not doing that well with them, haha, but it is the thought that counts and she is having fun).
🥰 Grandpa Banks! Such an interesting and fun character and I love how he helps out his granddaughter with her investigations (though he is not allowed to do much exercise as the doctor has forbidden that).
🥰 Learning about the boat/ship.
🥰 That inspector is still an idiot, it amazing me that she keeps that job, haha, I guess no one else wants to do it. Or maybe she is just the brightest bulb of all the police force.
🥰 The puns! Loved them!
🥰 A light dose of 4th wall breaking (hope the author has made some time to do that, haha).
🥰 The mom! She was such a fun character and I really liked seeing so much of her. I was at times a bit worried she may be an annoyance factor, I have read one too many MG with parents butting in, but thankfully, she stays mostly on the side. Until she goes to do her own investigation.
🥰 The ending, oh I liked that one, especially what mom said at the end.
🥰 The cover, the illustrations. The style is just fantastic and I love every bit of it.
🥰 A new book is coming! I always want more BonBon and so I am delighted a new adventure is coming~

All in all, this was such a delightful book again with plenty of good mysteries and more! I would recommend it and the series to all~

Star rating, 5 stars
