Violet and the Hidden Treasure by Harriet Whitehorn. Review by Isobel

The second mystery in the Violet Remy-Robinson series is about the Maharajah of Bochir's cockatoo. Violet is taking a break from mystery solving and is on summer holiday in India with her godmother Celeste. She meets the Maharajah and also meets the Maharani, the Maharajah's cockatoo. The Maharajah missed his wife a lot when she died so as Maharani is the name for the Maharajah's wife, he named the cockatoo after her. Violet is very surprised when Rajesh the Maharajah's butler appears back at her house in London with the Maharani on Valentine's day. People have discovered that the Maharani is the clue to finding the treasure of the Maharajah, so lots of peoples are trying to birdnap the bird so they can get all the treasure. The trouble all starts when Angel, the Maharajah's niece moves into the neighbourhood and tries to trick Violet into giving the cockatoo to her.
This is a very exciting book and there are lots of twists and turns. I'd recommend it to fans of mystery  stories.
