Summary

When recently orphaned Barnaby Gaunt is sent to stay with his uncle on a beautiful remote island off the coast of Canada, he is all set to have the perfect summer holiday. Except there is one small problem: His uncle is trying to kill him.

Heir to a ten-million-dollar fortune, Barnaby tries to tell everyone and anyone that his uncle is after his inheritance, but no one will believe him. That is, until he tells the only other child on the island, Chrissie, who concludes that there is only one way for Barnaby to stop his demonic uncle: He will just have to kill him first. With the unexpected help of One-Ear, the aged cougar who has tormented the island for years, Chrissie and Barnaby hatch a foolproof plan.

Playful, dark, and witty, Let's Kill Uncle is a surprising tale of two ordinary children who conspire to execute an extraordinary murder - and get away with it.

Brilliant. A little masterpiece

A wonderful evocation of childhood. Full of humour and beautifully drawn characters plus an unexpected twist. All superbly read by Rama Vallury.

Quirky

Well! Two children of variable age ( the author having only a precarious knowledge of children's developmental age) feature in an oldfashioned romp, dodging the nefarious intent of an extremely dodgy Uncle. Something along the lines of the Famous Five meet a Really Bad Man.
Very entertaining.
