Yet another gem - this one really fleshes out the individual characters of the "Death and Glories" and some of the locals around the Horning district. A bit of boating, a lot of (erratically effective) sleuthing and the young people come through it all by exercising ingenuity and co-operating with each other and the friendly natives .. as usual in a Ransome book. Not my favourite but an enthralling read nonetheless!
