Description
From the # 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Alex Rider series. 
It looks like Tim, the world’s worst private detective, and Nick, his brainy kid brother, are in trouble again. They’re dead broke. But money is the least of their worries when a mysterious man bursts into their office and offers Tim a wad of cash for his coat. Minutes later, the stranger is dead and Nick and Tim are left to puzzle over his final words. What could he have meant by "suff bee suff-iss"? Or was it "south by southeast"? Neither one seems to make much sense, but the Diamond brothers will have to figure it out, and fast! Whoever killed the stranger is now after Nick and Tim!

        December 1, 2005
        Gr 5-9 -Horowitz has created another well-written, well-paced spy melodrama. This fifth addition to the series will engage readers with its hilarious, nonstop story line. Tim Diamond, the world's worst detective, has few cases to solve, so he and his younger brother, Nick, are destitute until a stranger offers Tim a fistful of much-needed cash in exchange for his raincoat. With the stranger's violent death, Tim and Nick find themselves dealing with disbelieving police and people claiming to be government agents. The brothers have a multitude of hair-raising adventures, including one in which they are chased by a small plane in a scene reminiscent of Hitchcock's classic film "North by Northwest" (hence the book's title). The story ends as the sibs meet the chief villain on a village fair's Tunnel of Love ride. Tim is likable but clueless, and Nick, the narrator, the true brains behind their act." -Alice DiNizo, Plainfield Public Schools, NJ"

        G. 4-7. The title is but the first of many, many Hitchcockisms in the latest Diamond Brothers mystery. This time aptly named private eye Tim Simple and his cannier teenage brother, Nick, fall into a preposterously complicated plot involving MI6, a Dali painting, a Russian art collector, and an assassin with a missing finger. From the opening murder of secret agent Nick McGuffin in (what else?) a telephone booth to closing denouement in a carnival Tunnel of Love, this nonstop adventure will leave even readers who don't get all the references with a case of vertigo--as well as aching sides from some relentlessly witless dialogue.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)

        In this latest series entry, brothers Nick and Tim are caught up in the world of espionage, trying to stop an assassin before the next kill. Meanwhile, they face their standard problems--no money, incompetent police, and Tim's stupidity. As in the other books, Horowitz's attempts at clever humor fail, and the weak plot and characterizations are both irritating.
