About this listen

The man in the photo is so blurry it's impossible to make out what he really looks like. And that was before he was run over by a steamroller! His name was Lenny Smile and he ran a children's charity called Dream Time, financed by millionaire author Joe Carter.

Now Carter wants to know just what happened to Smile – and to the money. Unfortunately for him, he's hired the Diamond Brothers – Tim, the world's worst private detective, and his wise-cracking younger brother Nick – to solve the mystery!

It was half term, and Tim, the older of the two brothers, hsd a job: to find out what had happened to the man who ran a children's charity. So it was lucky his younger sibling was around to help out.
Short, funny and an easy read, full of Horowitz humour:
Lee ' had the look of a model, the Airfix variety: all plastic.'

Nicely narrated by Nicholas Grace,The Blurred Man, is basically, a fun children's detective stoey which will amuse adults, too.

"More like Mondays."
