Kitty Hawk and the Mystery of the Masterpieces

The fifth book is another great addition to the Kitty Hawk Detective Flying Agency series. Like the last one, there was nothing too new in the general premise in relation to all the previous books, as in Kitty goes to a new location and stumbles into a mystery and adventure she never expected. The different locations definitely add something new, as well as the characters Kitty meets on the way. I was happy to see Charlie back in this one. The idea of secret radio transmissions was certainly interesting, so although the basic idea is the same as previous volumes, these elements still make it enjoyable, along with Kitty's infectious excitement and eternal wonder of the world around her. My favourite quote near the end kind of sums up why I've enjoyed Kitty as a character and these books: “Because every breath of precious life that we take during our time here on this beautiful planet - no matter how strange or exotic or ordinary - is all part of the adventure that we call our own lives.”
