Who did the terrible crime?

Matthew is petrified of germs, going outside and touching anything that hasn’t been smothered in anti-baterial spray. He spends his days cleaning his bedroom, washing and making note of what his boring neighbours do. However, when a child disappears, Matthew is a key witness and must solve the mystery. Everyone is going crazy looking for the child, sending out search parties and speaking to the police, but the criminal is right under their noses. I think this book is very cleverly written, to intrigue the reader the whole way through. I love how every chapter ended the same way and I really wanted to find out who did the terrible crime. The story had lots of suspense, but my favourite part was how Matthew started to connect with his parents and with his disease.
