3.0 out of 5 stars Plot Is Too Easy
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2011
After reading several of The High-Rise Private Eye beginning readers, I've become a bit more fond of Bunny (a rabbit) and Jack (a raccoon), who together form a detective agency. But a lot of time is spent with Bunny and Jack exchanging witty remarks before, finally, a call comes in asking them to solve a mystery. It seems that somebody takes a trombone from the front window of a music store each evening and returns it two mornings later. (it's never explained, even at the end, how the thief gets into the store to take and return the trombone.)

Bunny finds pieces of straw at the scene of the crime, so Bunny and Jack go on a hayride, where they find a possum playing a trombone. The possum confesses, pleading the need to make money to support his mother. Bunny and Jack tell the possum he should not "borrow" the trombone, but he should give lessons at the music store and thus earn money to buy the trombone. The mysteries in this series seem too simple and are solved too easily.
