Falcon's Malteser, The

Product Information

The Diamond Brothers is a series of humorous children's detective books by Anthony Horowitz, recounting the adventures of the world's worst private detective, Tim Diamond, and his much more intelligent younger brother, Nick Diamond. Falcon’s Malteser is ideal for family groups, children from 8 upwards especially boys, if you enjoy children’s theatre with style, an intelligent script and excellent acting.

He says his doctor told him to lose weight, so over the past year he has eaten yoghurt and lost 135 kg. A film adaptation based on the first novel The Falcon's Malteser was released in 1988 and it was entitled Just Ask for Diamond. Not only does it provide you with questions that are only answered later on, but the comedy written in the book also entertains a lot, despite being small jokes, or just Tim's idiocy.With this knowledge, Naples quit his job in Bolivia soon after the Falcon's death, and caught a flight to England.

Nick, Herbert and Snape open the Falcon's bank account in his grave, and inside they find – nothing. The police picked him up in passport control at Heathrow, before losing him for a short while, until they found him at the Hotel Splendide in Portobello Road. In a school setting I think this book would be terrific for any child from year 4 onwards, and I can see why Mr Horowitz has become such a big name in getting reluctant readers to pick up a book, as I would heartily recommend it to any pupil who thinks the written word can’t be as exciting as a videogame or film. When a dwarf comes into the office and leaves a package, Tim Diamond, the world’s worst private-detective, is faced with his toughest case yet.Tim has a job as a (lousy) private detective with barely any cases to investigate, and things look pretty bad for them, until a. It's the first case for hopeless detective Tim Diamond (real name Herbert Simple), who shares an apartment in London with his younger brother Nick. Back in the flat the following day, Nick is visited by the Professor, one of Snape's suspects, who offers Nick half the Falcon's money if he gives him the Maltesers. In April 2020, when the fourth full-length Diamond Brothers novel Where Seagulls Dare was announced, it was initially assumed that the novel would have some relation to the Australian-based adventure alluded to at the end of The Greek Who Stole Christmas, but Horowitz quickly confirmed on Twitter that this was not so, and that The Radius of the Lost Shark has still yet to be written. Nick explains that he was meant to emigrate with his parents to Australia against his wishes in the novel's character introduction, but he managed to escape the airport when they weren't looking.
