Praise for The Mystery Agency
'I loved this book! Highly recommended' - Matt Lucas, Actor and comedian

'I'm just mad about the Mystery Agency, and even madder about Henry Lewis. Like, it makes me actually mad how wonderfully talented he is at puzzle creation and storytelling. This book is an utter delight, one that should be in the collection of any sharp thinker. I hated how much I loved it. Can't recommend it enough.' - Neil Patrick Harris, puzzle-master and award-winning actor
