“Another four books have been murdered! This is our school library!” wept Anne, her face buried in Timmy’s thick fur coat.

“How were the killed?” asked Miss Marple inquisitively.

“Drowned!” announced Mma Ramotswe.

“Good heavens!” cried the Famous Five.

I am already 1/7 dead!” snapped Harry Potter sarcastically, his patience obviously wearing thin.

“I think the butler did it,” interjected Poirot.

“No, it was all to do with a secret marriage, I must just head down to Somerset House,” exclaimed Miss Marple.

“We think someone must be hiding behind a secret panel,” declared the Famous Five.

Dear Librarian,

Follow our instructions and there will be no more deaths:

Get someone in to fix the roof.

Yours,

The
