드디어 아빠에게 여자친구 찾아주기에 성공한 Esmie.
아빠와 Lizzy의 관계는 점점 좋아져만 갑니다.
Lizzy는 Esmie에게 친절하고 다정해서 때때로 친엄마에 대한 기억까지 잊게 만들 정도였답니다.
하지만 어떤 문제가 생긴 것일까요? 갑자기 Lizzy가 이상하게 굴기 시작합니다.
일하지 안는다는 것을 알고 있는데도 일하는 중이라고 거짓말을 하니 말입니다.
Esmie는 자신의 좋은 새엄마가 되어 줄 Lizzy를 놓치고 싶지 않습니다.
Esmie에게 뭔가 기발한 아이디어가 떠올라 줄까요?
Grade 4–7—Twelve-year-old Esmie's life is getting complicated in Gwyneth Rees's sequel (Macmillan, pap. 2005) to The Mum Hunt (Delacorte, 2003). She loves her dad's new girlfriend, Lizzie, but begins to doubt her when it appears Lizzie is keeping a secret. In the meantime, her older brother's girlfriend longs to find the mother who abandoned her years ago. Does any of this have anything to do with the body that was recently discovered in town? It's time for Esmie to practice those all-important detecting skills that she'll need to hone for her future detective career. She'll track down that missing mother and identify the corpse. Esmie appears to get most of her exercise by jumping to conclusions, which inevitably gets her into trouble. This very British story is read with a lot of enthusiasm, and the perfect accent, by Kelly Hunter. It should appeal to tweens and early teens who will sympathize with Esmie's desire for a little excitement in her life
