“What a recipe for success! Madsen took a handful of magic,
added it to a bucket of adventure, threw in a scoop of history, and wound it all around two believable kids to create The
Mystery at Comanche Canyon.
The intrepid young detectives, Alexa and Jake, gain confidence in this new tale. This is a great read for
parents to share with their children. It is full of humor and excitement for adults and children alike. The readers happily
follow the two young sleuths - and their animal companions - as they learn more about the powers of the mysterious magnifying
glass and their dangerous nemesis, the evil Baron Von Snodgrass. I hope their escapades continue!”

“The Mystery at
Comanche Canyon is an excellent follow up to The Case of Stolen Time. Once again we are brought into the wonderful
world of Inspector Moustachio, where Jake, Lexy, and of course Rex, take us on a delightful journey to solve yet
another mystery. This book is filled with action, adventure, comedy and a group of lovable characters to make any child smile.
It's a great book for every boy and girl, no matter how old or young! The author truly knows how to make his audience
want more misadventures - book after book!”
