Nick and Tim Diamond
Created by Anthony Horowitz

In the British, family-oriented private-eye parody, The Falcon's Malteser (and its subsequent film adaptation), long-suffering TIM DIAMOND comes to the aid of his older brother TIM, a rather dim-witted, teenage detective, to help solve a mystery concerning an opera singer's mysterious box of candy. Lots of in-jokes and references to classic films of the genre along the way.

Author Horowitz is also the author of The Switch, Granny, Public Enemy No 2, Horowitz Horror, Groosham Grange and South by South East. My U.K. correspondent Adam found "all of them outstanding."
