This one felt a bit clunkier and particularly formulaic to me. The twins were kind of creepy and cardboard and the dastardly American had bizarre speech patterns that I found distracting.

So just three for this one. Although I did like the jackdaw.

The history of Finniston fascinated me, still does!

Sweet and funny. Junior was a good character, definitely you can have lots of fun.

I know I’ve read them all - but this one felt unfamiliar to me! Fairly standard outing - a holiday at a Dorset farm leads to the 5 discovering a long lost (it burned down 700 years prior) castle and the treasures in its cellars... hands down favourite scene was Dick just casually buying a whole plate of 20+ macaroons. And icecreams. What a legend.
