Looks like the seller has corrected the title of their listing now! I wouldn't necessarily have paid what I paid for Banshee Towers for another book in the series (did that make sense??) but Banshee Towers is so hard to get that I thought it was worth it.

Oh dear, it took me several seconds to work out what it actually was!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Let's have a think about what other titles in this series "doublebeast" might be selling... :D

THE ROCKIN' TOWN MYSTERY

THE REALLYBIG AFFAIR MYSTERY

THE RINGO'S BELLS MYSTERY

THE RATATOUILLE MYSTERY

THE ROGUEMUFFIN MYSTERY

Makes sense to me, anyway! :wink:

I've seen the Rhubarb Mystery before! I'm beginning to suspect it's a genuine book now.

It could just be that someone had auto-correct on when typing the title. :wink:

Yes, here's an old thread about The Rhubarb Mystery!:

Oh, I haven't heard that "twangy" theme tune for about 30 years, though it's come back to me from time to time... it was on TV when I was really little and I remembered it was a British cartoon about a dog — I could still just see the opening sequence with him running — but I couldn't for the life of me recall his name!! :D

As for this from the older thread...

Maybe the mystery is concerned about why the rhubarb looks more like celery rising from the water...

I was thinking the same myself, Nigel — that vegetable looks suspiciously pale for rhubarb... :shock:
