Description
Jack's little sister, Susie, is so annoying. The Secret Seven are furious when they discover she's formed her own "detective gang". Then some money is stolen, and Susie is a chief suspect. The Seven can't quite believe it - Susie wouldn't do anything that bad... would she?

The seven reappear for another Bonfire Night. My copy is from the 90s so the currency at least has been decimalised, and I don’t know if that means other changes have been made too.
It’s just a bit of a nothing. There’s the usual conflict with Susie (who as an adult I increasingly identify with), biscuits for Scamper, sexism against the girls in the group.
But the plot is just a string of coincidences - it doesn’t feel like there’s any agency on behalf of the main characters that helps it along (with maybe one small exception right near the start), and this makes it a disappointing mystery.
