4-6Mysteries of Maisie Hitchins series.
Illustrated by
Marion Lindsay.
In the fifth book, Maisie's grandmother's boarding house has a new lodger, Mr. Grange. Twelve-year-old Maisie thinks he's very dull--until she notices suspicious things about him. Is he part of an art-smuggling ring in London's underground tunnels? The simple mystery plot and well-placed clues are appropriate for a young middle-grade audience; black-and-white line drawings help establish the Victorian setting.
