The Trainee Undercover by Brenda Shaw

R4R- I received this book in exchange of an honest review.

Rating :4/5

This is my first book by this author and I am impressed.

The book involves 3 teenagers trying to help their friend by finding his dad’s blackmailer.

George, Alex, Angela and Harry have been friends since they were six. George-an aspiring photographer,  Angela – future lawyer, Harry- a tech wiz and Alex – interested in pursuing criminal justice. The friends met at Harry’s garage as usual when George suddenly shocks the others by saying he will be moving to America as his father is being blackmailed to not to got the police with  his findings of embezzlement at his work place.

Hearing this Alex,who likes to solve puzzle,  asks George to take him to his dad .He  convinces George’s dad to let him and his friends solve the blackmail issue.Alex and his friends soon set out to investigate the issue with their amateurish investigative skills.

I found the book very interesting and this book took me back to my Enid Blyton(Famous Five) days. I loved the plot and the characters, the way these friends figure things out and put the clues together. Though the book was interesting, I felt there were too many characters involved when it came to the  murder and embezzlement plot. This sometimes confused me. Other wise it is an interesting read.

Grab a copy!!
