About this audiobook
When a mysterious girl attempts to stake her claim to the Snowcroft family fortune, Myrtle Hardcastle’s father, a lawyer, is asked to help prove—or disprove—her identity. Is this truly Ethel Snowcroft, believed to have been lost at sea with her parents, or a con artist chasing a windfall?
Mr. Hardcastle’s pursuit of the case takes a detour when he’s hospitalized for a tonsillectomy—only to witness a murder. But where’s the victim? And who at the hospital could be harboring murderous intent? Myrtle is determined to find out before the killer comes after her father.
With stakes this high, her sleuthing has put Myrtle, her family, and the patients and staff at the Royal Swinburne Hospital In Myrtle Peril.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Amateur Kid Detective Myrtle Hardcastle is asked by her father’s boss, the Magistrate to befriend a young girl who may or may not be the missing daughter of a family that perished at sea and be the heir to the family fortune. Started a little slow but with murder and mystery makes it an enjoyable middle grade story.
