Dilly loved a good murder. Not a real murder. A made-up murder. One you would find in a murder mystery novel. Sherlock Holmes was her favourite detective, so much so that she had named her dog Watson after his faithful companion. Dilly had trained her Watson to sniff out clues and follow scent trails. Something he would happily do for a dog biscuit. Or two. So far, Dilly and Watson hadn't had much luck cracking cases, beyond lost cats, or missing biscuits that turned out to have been eaten all along. But now the detective duo found themselves on a luxury ocean liner bound for London. A thousand passengers. A thousand nautical miles of ocean around them. It was the perfect place for a murder.

«Also, so schlimm ist die Tante gar nicht – sie lügt zwar, ist verfressen, mordet und foltert –, aber ansonsten ... Und ihren Uhu, den finde ich richtig toll!» (Mechthild Großmann) Nach dem überraschenden Tod ihrer Eltern ist Stella Saxby plötzlich Erbin von Schloss Saxby Hall. Doch ihre grässliche Tante Alberta und deren riesiger Berg-Uhu Wagner schrecken vor nichts zurück, um sich die Erbschaft unter den Nagel zu reißen. Vor gar nichts! Wie gut, dass Stella Freunde hat – wenn auch etwas spezielle Freunde: den schwerhörigen und fast blinden alten Butler Gibbon, zum Beispiel. Oder den Schornsteinfeger Ruß, der ein echter Geist ist. Werden sie es schaffen, Stellas Terror-Tantchen aus Schloss Saxby Hall zu vertreiben?

Papas gibt es in allen Formen und Größen – es gibt dicke und dünne, große und kleine, dumme und schlaue, laute und leise Papas. Aber keiner ist so wie Franks Papa Gilbert. Denn der ist ein berühmter Rennfahrer, der König der Straße, der Champion der Rennstrecke, von allen nur Gilbert der Große genannt! Doch nach einem schlimmen Unfall ist alles anders: Papa darf keine Rennen mehr fahren, und auf einmal sind Frank und Gilbert arm. Nachdem sie alle Möbel verpfändet haben, beschließt Papa in seiner Verzweiflung, das Fluchtauto bei einem Raubüberfall zu fahren, den der schreckliche Verbrecherboss Mr. Big und seine trotteligen Helfer Finger und Däumling planen. Doch er hat nicht mit seinem Sohn gerechnet: Frank ist wild entschlossen, seinen Vater davon abzuhalten, ein Banditen-Papa zu werden!
