Thieving St. Bernards? An infectiously funny new mystery from bestselling author Alexander McCall Smith

Max and Maddy Twist have a flair for solving crimes. You might even say it's in their blood. That's because their parents once ran a thriving detective agency-until the notorious Professor Claude Sardine shut them down. But now Max and Maddy are ready to pick up where their parents left off. In The Chocolate Money Mystery, a Swiss businessman asks their help in catching a bank robber. But little do the brother and sister detectives expect to find themselves hot on the trail of a gang of …St. Bernards?
