The Falcon's Malteser

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.

Having immensely enjoyed Horowitz's teenage superspy series, `Alex Rider' (and even going so far as ordering the two latest installments from England so I wouldn't have to wait as long as the rest of America) I was greatly looking forward to starting Anthony's new mystery series for kids. Horowitz has struck gold once again and this is sure to be another popular series for teens who enjoy buckets loads of laughs, thrills, chills, and mystery. Nick Diamond is a strong central character, whose quick wit, laugh-out-loud attitude and sarcasm will capture any kid's heart. Horowitz just as in his `Alex Rider' series makes the villains and scary situations in this story realistic which is probably why he is such a popular author. This book is a quick read, and is a great form of entertainment even for the most reluctant of readers. Highly recommended for all of those mystery buffs out there.

Dear Reader, The Falcon's Maltesers is a really good book. If you like books on mystery you must read this book. The two main characters are Tim, and Nick. They are both brothers.

I have just finished reading the falcons malteser. It was so good. I normally don't like reading...actually I hate it but this was an aception. You just have to read it!

This book is one of the few i have read which has a decent plot in it. You dont know who did what, who is who and what does what until the final showdown at the end.I was pleased to hear that it has 2 sequels and has been made in to a film. Anyone who doesn't like it must be out of their mind!!!!!
