Sherlock Ferret and his well-whiskered friend Watson Mouse M.D. visit the Museum, where they look at many paintings, including the famous Ferret Before a Mirror, by Pablo Pigasso. Sherlock discovers that, though it is meant to be an old picture, the painting in the Museum is new! What is the secret of this, and the other paintings by Pigasso? Sherlock and Watson investigate, together with their rhinoceros friend (although he is not very big) Lestrade. They talk to Moriarty Magpie and other nefarious characters, and Watson spends a very uncomfortable time in Pigasso’s house before the answer is discovered.
When Mrs. Fieldmouse visits Sherlock Ferret and his friend Watson Mouse M.D. and tells them that her twelve children have all fallen sick, Sherlock has to find out what has been going on. Together with Doctor Solomon Sloth, he discovers the cause of their illness.
Then Lestrade, a rhinoceros friend (though not a very big one) tells him of mysterious happenings at the pond.
Sherlock and Watson meet large nefarious beasts, and the scurrilous Moriarty Magpie. Hermie, the caterpillar with a surprising trick, and two more of Sherlock’s friends, Beatrice and Benedict, help to
solve the mystery, and make the poisoned pond safe again.

In this book are the first three adventures of Sherlock Ferret, the World's Cutest Detective, who lives in rooms under Mrs. Hudson's bakery. Together with the help of his friend Watson Mouse, and his colleague Inspector Lestrade, who is a rhinoceros (though he is not a very big one), and the Bakery Irregulars, Sherlock Ferret solves mysteries. The Missing Necklace is the story of a silly rabbit, who loses her valuable necklace. Is the nefarious Moriarty Magpie to blame, or is it the frightening Colonel Sebastian Moorhen? In The Multiplying Masterpieces, it seems that there are some dubious paintings in the Museum. Sherlock must find out if the famous artist Pablo Pigasso (who is a very rude person) is responsible. And in The Poisoned Pond, when twelve little Fieldmouse children fall ill, Sherlock Ferret and his friend Doctor Solomon Sloth suspect they have been swimming in the wrong place. Sherlock and Watson find strange scurrilous beasts near the pond. What have these beasts been up to? And in a special story, Vinnie the Visitor, told for the first time in this book, Sherlock's cousin comes to stay, and he discovers the truth about her swimming pool and private air-conditioned room
