|title=Detective Nosegoode and the Music Box Mystery (Detective Nosegoode 1)
|rating=3.5
|genre=Confident Readers
|summary=The lovely village of Lower Limewood is coming awake as it usually does, and people are happily going about their business. Business for the stately, well-known but happily retired Detective Nosegoode is merely idling his time on a park bench reading the newspapers to his dog – a dog that can talk to him in human language, if not read. But not all people welcome the new day with joy – a clockmaker, who had been working for a week now at repairing a music box with a porcelain dancer on top and a clockwork mechanism, finds it – and only it – has been stolen from his business. It's only a step to find the owner was under the illusion it was a clue to some long-lost treasure, but who could have burgled the workshop and taken it? And what place to play in the mystery does a strange man have, what with his avidly watching the Detective from behind a giant and clearly fake beard?
