3.8/5 ( ratings)

NOT ALL EIGHTEEN YEAR OLDS WANT TO BE A DETECTIVE…
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE !

Pinkleys skills are called into play once again in another case in his reluctant career.

Teenager Lawrence Pinkley unwillingly inherits his father's Private Detective Agency on the cold north east coast of England. Despite not knowing the first thing about solving crimes, except from what he’s been able to pick up by reading Sherlock Holmes books and watching endless reruns of Columbo, his reputation as a successful Private Investigator is growing.

But, when Hollywood comes to town, Pinkley stumbles into the path of the dangerously disturbed Doctor Ubel who could quickly put an end to Pinkley’s short career, as well as his life. Meanwhile, Pinkley is employed to find a painting by Van Gogh that has mysteriously disappeared from a locked safe that appears totally impregnable. Pinkley must use all his cunning and limited intellect to find the painting whilst out foxing Doctor Ubel.

Packed with surreal and laugh-out-loud moments, The Mystery of Van Gogh's Missing Heart is a hilarious crime novel that appeals to anyone from 8 to 80

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
When I was a child I enjoyed looking at the artwork that went with the books I read, especially those that had some hidden information that added an extra layer to the story. And that was something I wanted to recreate with Lawrence Pinkley Mysteries. Writing can sometimes be a lonely occupation, but teaming up with someone as talented and inspiring as Dylan Gibson, has made this book a complete joy to work on. Dylan's illustrations bring an added dimension to the story that make the characters take on a life all of their own.
