Misterio del cuadro robado

Museum Catalog Note This is the twelfth book in Enid Blyton's "Mystery" series, featuring the five child investigators Fatty, Larry, Daisy, Pip, and Bets, along with Buster the Scottish terrier. The story opens at Peterswood railway station, where the group awaits Fatty's return from a Swiss holiday with his parents. A chaotic scene erupts when a well-dressed couple arrives with their small white poodle, "Poppet." During an encounter between Buster and Poppet, the woman falls and blames Buster, summoning Police Constable Goon to lodge a complaint. A mysterious man named Larkin, described as a groundskeeper at the rented house "Tally-Ho Cottage," retrieves Poppet before the couple's departure. The children narrowly escape Goon's further investigation. The narrative establishes the setup for a mystery, with the initial disruption centering on the dogs' interaction and Goon's persistent antagonism toward the young detectives.
