Wanted: Assistant to a painter (and a secret sleuth)
Dickory Dock has come to 12 Cobble Lane to take the job as painter's assistant to the artist Garson. The townhouse looks charming and quaint, but inside its redbrick walls lurk suspicious characters, multiple mysteries, and one very eccentric portrait artist.

“This was a dnf for us. Language was difficult for my 11 year old, some because the book is getting a tad antiquated, but some because it is just simply out of range. And yet I can’t imagine older kids being too invested in the plot. Speaking of plot… the mystery is very slow to surface- as it still hadn’t appeared by the time finally threw in the towel. Disappointing. We were really excited about reading this one. I can see why this book wasn’t the smashing success that her Westing Game was.”
