Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Gr. 4-8. Thirteen-year-old Nick is the younger (and brighter) half of the Diamond Brothers, the world's worst detective agency. Dwarf Johnny Naples becomes their client, entrusting the two with a mysterious package (a box of Malteser chocolates) just before he is killed, leaving Tim Diamond, literally, holding the gun. With Tim in jail, Nick is forced to solve the case--hopefully before someone murders him, too. Originally published in Britain (where it was also released in film and television versions), this pays homage to the "hard-boiled-detective-with-a-snappy-comeback" genre and to The Maltese Falcon book and film that the title spoofs. Horowitz's classic cast of quirky villains-- including The Fat Man, Gott and Himmel, Beatrice von Falkenberg, and the Professor--and nonstop action and clever, deadpan humor ensure the novel will be a popular choice.

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8–Nick Simple's life is anything but simple. His parents have moved to Australia, leaving him in the care of his incompetent older brother who is trying to make a living as a private detective and changes the family name. They are visited by a dwarf who leaves a package with them for safekeeping and later turns up dead. Set in England and filled with a variety of colorful characters, the plot reads like a 1940s P.I. movie. Like Horowitz's "Alex Rider" series (Philomel), the teen protagonist relies on his wits to thwart the enemy. Short chapters, with a conflict in each one, will appeal to reluctant readers.–Kim Carlson, Monticello High School, IA

A charming tale of death, destruction, good cops, bad cops, double-crossing and everything that goes with that sort of thing, with a bit of chocolate thrown into the deal. My son and I had great fun reading this book together: packed with fun and suspense. We can’t wait for the next one to come through the letterbox.

The Falcon's Malteser
16. März 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I have to admit that I don't usually like mystery books. That all changed when I started reading Anthony Horowitz's mystery books. He writes with tons of detail and his stories always flow great. The Falcon's Malteser is amongst my favorite books and it's a mystery book. I've read many books by Anthony Horowitz and his mystery books, in my opinion, are some of the best books he's ever written. Anthony Horowitz has a lot of talent, period.
Now back to the story. We find the normal, every day society of England in The Falcon's Malteser. Amongst all the teenage boys, there's Nick Diamond. Nick Diamond is a thirteen-year old boy who chose not to go with his parents to Australia, but to stay in England with his brother, Tim Diamond, who is also England's worst private detective. Nick is "lovingly" cared for by his brother Tim; so lovingly that they live in a run-down apartment with no food, no money, and no transportation. Nick sometimes wishes he had gone with his parents, and so would I.
We experience this hurtful adventure through Nick, while Tim is in jail, supposedly for murder. Nick and Tim, one day, randomly get a visit. From a dwarf. The dwarf acts hurried and acts as if he's being followed. The dwarf, named Johnny Naples, pays Tim and Nick five-hundred dollars to watch a box of chocolate maltesers. Nick and Tim ask themselves the same question, "Why?" Well, they will soon find out why with the helpful hints from three murders, and Lauren Bicardi. Nick and Tim learn that the box of chocolate maltesers somehow unlock a safe with five-million dollars in diamonds inside the safe. But where's the safe and how do you open it?
The Falcon's Malteser is a great mystery book to read. This book kept me interested the whole way and didn't reveal itself until the end. Also, because the book's setting is based on England, the society that shapes the character's problems, conflicts, and decisions make it much easier to understand. Anthony Horowitz describes everything perfect, he goes into full depth of all the characters, and describes the conflicts very well. He writes vivid details, which makes it feels like you're right in the book, living what's happening. Anthony Horowitz wrote this novel so good, if he took it any further he would've ruined the book, even though the ending frustrated me a little. You have to read The Falcon's Malteser by Anthony Horowitz. It is a book you will never forget.
