The Mystery Of The Burnt Cottage (2015) - Plot & Excerpts

Pondok kerja pak Hick terbakar dahsyat malam itu. Para tetangga di lingkungan sekitarnya tampak heboh dan berkerumun, termasuk Larry, Daisy, Pip dan Bets. Mereka mengasihani kemalangan pak Hick karena tentunya akan ada banyak dokumen penting yang tebakar habis. Namun ketika pihak asuransi datang untuk memeriksa TKP, ditemukan bahwa peristiwa kebakaran tersebut terjadi karena disengaja. Hal ini berarti ada seseorang yang telah membakar pondok pak Hick. Lalu siapakah mereka?Larry, Pip, Daisy, Bets, FAT dan juga anjingnya membentuk tim yang bernama The Five Find-outers alias Pasukan Mau Tahu. Mereka menelisik kejadian ini atas dasar penasaran dan kecurigaan yang tinggi. Banyak tersangka telah masuk dalam daftar. Banyak petunjuk juga telah ditemukan. Namun seringkali kelima anak tersebut selalu gagal menemukan tersangka yang sebenarnya. Hingga pada akhirnya petunjuk penting yang mereka cari datang sendiri ke hadapan mereka. Siapakah dia?*Saya selalu takjub dengan Blyton. Tak hanya pandai menulis cerita bergenre fantasi dan realistik, ia pun juga pandai menulis kisah petualangan detektif bagi anak-anak. Menyenangkan rasanya membaca petualangan khususnya misteri dengan tokoh anak-anak. Para pembaca pastinya pernah melewati masa kanak-kanak, dimana tersembunyi rasa ingin tahu yang kuat dalam jiwanya. Rasanya ingin sekali melalui berbagai macam petualangan kemudian mengakhirnya dengan hati puas. Jika hal ini tidak kesampaian, biasanya anak-anak seringkali berkhayal mengarungi lautan luas menjadi bajak laut atau menjelajahi langit luas dengan balon udara dan terdampar di hutan Amazon. Bagi anak-anak perempuan, biasanya mereka mengkhayal soal menjadi putri raja yang pada akhirnya bertemu pangeran tampan. ehem.Balik lagi ke petualangan detektif. Pada awalnya saya menyepelekan buku ini dalam artian jalan ceritanya mudah ditebak. Ternyata saya salah. Enid Blyton benar-benar lebih ulung. Ia sudah memikirkan segalanya dengan detail. Wow!

Luin pojalle Enid Blytonin Salaisuus-sarjan ensimmäisen osan. Blytonin kirjat olivat omassa lapsuudessani tosi mieleenpainuvia ja kahlasin tämän sarjan lisäksi Viisikot, SOS-sarjan ja Seikkailu-sarjankin. Ja kyllähän poika tykkäsi tästä valtavasti ja taidamme aloittaa heti perään uuden.Salaisuus sarjassa seikkailee viisi lasta ja koira (aivan kuten Viisikoissakin). Palaneen talon salaisuudessa lapset perustavat etsiväseuran ja alkavat ratkaisemaan herra Hickin pihatalon tuhopolttoa. Konstaapeli Goon aiheuttaa lapsille harmaita hiuksia. Hän ei luonnollisestikaan pidä, että lapset häiritsevät hänen työtään. Pidin lapsena valtavasti Pulla lempinimellä siunatusta pojasta, joka kirjoissa seikkailee. Itseriittoinen ja nokkela poika eroittuu muista, tuiki tavallisista, lapsista. Näin aikuisella iällä luettuna hahmot ovat ohkaisia ja todellista jännitettä ei oikein pääse syntymään kuin yhdessä kohdin (pojalle toki useammassakin kohdin). Kaikki kunnia kuitenkin tarinalle, en itsekään hoksannut syyllistä aivan heti ja poikani arvaili sitä hyvin innokkaasti lähes loppuun asti. Kirja on tyyliltään hyvin Agatha Christiemäinen... lapsille suunnattuna. Jotenkin aistii, että nämä molemman kirjailijat ovat kirjoittaneet romaaninsa suunnilleen samaan aikaan samassa maailmankolkassa.

Larry, Daisy, Pip, Bets, Fatty and Buster the dog are normal boys and girls until a flare starts up nearby at Mr Hick's workroom.

Can 'The Five Find-Outers and Dog' solve the mystery before he can? They suspect many, but only at the end is the real prisoner...Follow Larry, Daisy, Pip, Bets and Buster the doggy by reading this fabulous story including Enid Blyton's wits and hilarious jokes ;)Great book, really good, some spelling mistakes but they're just typos, but, really, really fabulously great :)

I think that the Five finouter and Dogs is a much better book series than famous five or secret seven but they are not as famous as Secret Seven and Famous Five.This was the first book and it was'nt as good as the others as fatty did not have any tricks upto his sleeves and nor did he do any diguises in this book.But it is about a fire being lit and destroying very important papers of the owners but the five Findouters find it hard to be friends with fatty but eventually the culprit caught is very astonishing.

Having read most of these delightful whodunnits by the age of 10 I still hadn't got hold of the first book in the series which gives a lot of important background for a fan. For some reason the local bookseller never had it in stock and when I asked about it he told me that they'd had some in, but they went like "hot cakes". He didn't offer to order me a copy and I didn't realise that he could have done. No wonder independent booksellers go out of business. I had to resort to re-reading so many books I felt I knew them by heart which is why I can recall this one 40 years later. It's why I never throw or give books away; I know they'll be read again, perhaps by my sons (fat chance). When I found this book (at long last) I was so excited. The pattern for the series is set in this story. I thought Enid Blyton was a genius for her ideas, not realising that they are hardly sophisticated crimes and any policeman (other than the hapless Goon) would have wrapped up the cases by the end of chapter 2. The framework is; "Crime" happens; Self-important policeman tells pesky kids to "Clear Orf" before jumping to the wrong conclusion; Fatty isn't convinced and leads a parallel investigation in which he makes use of a bewildering array of disguises; Larry, Daisy and Pip are there so that Fatty can show off (and help to pad the stories out by following up unimportant leads); Various clues are found and discussed; Bets solves the case without knowing why; Fatty realises this (like Poirot who sometimes needs Hastings); The Find-Outers go over Goon's head to a superior (Inspector Jenks) who recognises Fatty's brilliance and the criminal is arrested. Very satisfying.
