In 1967, Jim Thompson, a famous businessman with connections to the CIA, went missing in Malaysia.

Matthew ★★★★★

I’ve been reading this with my 11-year-old and the interactive detective format keeps us both guessing. The way it drops you right into Bangkok’s search for Jim Thompson is so engaging.

Abigail ★★★★★

My 9-year-old actually put down her tablet to follow the clues through Bangkok, and the historical details about Jim Thompson made it feel like a real mystery. She's already asking for another one.

Alexander ★★★★★

My kid tore through this in one weekend and immediately started it again to try the other paths. The Bangkok setting and the mystery of Jim Thompson's disappearance really pulled them in. Perfect for a 9-year-old who loves feeling like they're in charge of the story.
