Young fans of Sherlock Holmes will be happy to see this, the second in the series devoted to the tweed-wearing teenage detective. Together with his father (well, more or less: the poor man slips into a semi-coma whenever he gets stressed), his clever and resourceful sister and his beloved dog Wilbur, Darkus is soon hot on the trail of the mysterious dogs, which hunt in pairs and are strong enough to tear a man's throat out. If the creatures are indeed just dogs, that is . . .

Sherlock Holmes holds an undying fascination for readers both young and old. Bookbag recommends [[Young Sherlock Holmes: Snake Bite by Andrew Lane]] as well as others in the series like [[Young Sherlock Holmes: Fire Storm by Andrew Lane|Fire Storm]]. If you prefer a simpler, more contemporary story, try [[Saxby Smart: Private Detective: The Secrets of the Skull by Simon Cheshire]].
