“MYSTERY AT THE PROSPECT HOTEL”

The Famous Five return in a brand new adventure, Mystery at the Prospect Hotel. 

As World War Two rages, Julian, Dick and Anne are evacuated from London and sent to the spooky Prospect Hotel. Except when they arrive, they find that they’re the only children here. That’s strange… But not as strange as when George and Timmy show up, looking for their (deceased) Great Uncle Horace. It seems the Five have been summoned here on purpose, but by whom? 

When it turns out they’ve been reunited by old foe Thomas Wentworth, our young heroes find themselves in their most sinister mystery yet. A murder mystery. But there’s a twist. Wentworth has seen a man killed… in the future. Are the Five cunning enough to solve a murder before it even happens?
