内容简介 Esmie knows she wants to be a detective when she grows up - just like her dad. And now is the perfect time to start honing her investigative skills. First of all there's the mystery disappearance of Esmie's brother's girlfriend's mum (interestingly complicated!). Could she still be alive? or does a vital clue lie beneath the soil of the local allotment? Even more importantly, Esmie is worried that her dad still hasn't proposed to his girlfriend, Lizzie. After all, Esmie went to enough trouble to act as match-maker for them! Then Esmie discovers that something very strange is going on - Lizzie is having a secret rendezvous with a mysterious man when she is supposed to be at work. What on earth is Lizzie's secret - and can Esmie find a way to make sure her new 'mum' and dad stay together forever?
作者简介 Gwyneth Rees is half Welsh and half English and was brought up in Scotland. She went to Glasgow University and qualified as a doctor in 1990. She is a child and adolescent psychiatrist and has worked in several places, including Birmingham and London. She is the author of MERMAIDS, FAIRY DUST, FAIRY TREASURE, COSMO AND THE MAGIC SNEEZE - and, for older readers, MY MUM'S FROM PLANET PLUTO and, of course, THE MUM HUNT.
编辑推荐 From School Library Journal
Grade 4–7—Twelve-year-old Esmie's life is getting complicated in Gwyneth Rees's sequel (Macmillan, pap. 2005) to The Mum Hunt (Delacorte, 2003). She loves her dad's new girlfriend, Lizzie, but begins to doubt her when it appears Lizzie is keeping a secret. In the meantime, her older brother's girlfriend longs to find the mother who abandoned her years ago. Does any of this have anything to do with the body that was recently discovered in town? It's time for Esmie to practice those all-important detecting skills that she'll need to hone for her future detective career. She'll track down that missing mother and identify the corpse. Esmie appears to get most of her exercise by jumping to conclusions, which inevitably gets her into trouble. This very British story is read with a lot of enthusiasm, and the perfect accent, by Kelly Hunter. It should appeal to tweens and early teens who will sympathize with Esmie's desire for a little excitement in her life.—Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary School, Federal Way, WA

In the sequel to THE MUM HUNT, Kelly Hunter gives voice to 12-year-old Esmie and her blended familyâ including her older brother, Matthew; her father, a police inspector; and dad's girlfriend, Lizzie. Esmie, who is planning to be a detective like her father, launches a search for the mother of Matthew's girlfriend, who disappeared some years earlier. The teenagers concoct wild suppositions of murder. Esmie also spies upon Lizzie, whom she drew into her father's life in the first novel with the help of a former nanny, who makes a few phone appearances in this production in Hunter's delightfully stagy French accent. Hunter's blithe English accent amuses and beguiles as she unveils the complications wrought by the well-intentioned Esmie.
