Jolly Foul Play: A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery (A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery, 4)

Product Information

I really, really do. One of the things I love about my job is that I get to push good books at people. Not, I hasten to add, literally. I do not stand on street corners pushing books. I talk to people in my libraries and I share with them the books that are just classy and good and brilliant things. Stevens is at the top of her game here, because she takes risks and makes them work in a quite wonderful fashion. This isn't the same old same old framework, resting on its laurels. Hazel and Daisy are in Hong Kong and there's a murder and a kidnap to solve. Erzählt wird ja wieder aus der Sicht von Hazel, die Schriftführerin der Detektei, und man merkt wie sie auflebt, jetzt, da sie selbst mal im Mittelpunkt steht. Dabei erfährt man aber auch einiges über ihr Leben in Hongkong, das geprägt ist durch Reichtum und einen Vater, für den sie als erstes Kind immer der Nabel der Welt war. Dass es jetzt nicht mehr so ist trifft sie sehr hart - diese Geschwistereifersucht als Thema hat mich nicht so ganz erreichen können, da ich es mit Hazel nicht so sehr in Einklang bringen konnte. Es wurde aber glaubhaft dargestellt und hat die Handlung auch unterstützt.

Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found – murdered. Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play? Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school? And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery? You’ll never guess what happened – or perhaps you will, because I think it really is true what you said once, that mystery follows us around. There’s been another murder at our school. Or at least, someone has died. My chaperones from my publisher, Harriet, Nat, Sophia and Annie. Authors on tour need people to tell them where to go and what to do, and also to write names on post-it notes so when they’re signing the hundredth copy of their book, they spell the person’s name right. When the two arrive at the family home Hazel has an unpleasant surprise. Her father's second wife (yes, he has two) has just given him a baby boy, Teddy. Hazel loves her two little half-sisters, but takes an immediate dislike to Teddy. All of her father's focus is now on Teddy, and her beloved maid has been given to Teddy. Things had changed at Deepdean. All of the rules had bent, and the power had moved. Elizabeth Hurst’s reign was over and none of us knew what would happen next.”Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong have returned to Deepdean for a new term, but nothing is the same. There's a new Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, and a team of prefects - and these bullying Big Girls are certainly not good eggs. Tensions are running high. Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found - murdered. Do you see why I think we may have a new mystery to investigate? The other girls in our dorm, Kitty, Beanie and Lavinia, will help me and Daisy – but I wishit would be useful to have the Junior Pinkertons on the case as well. Will you and George help as well? Robin was born in California and grew up in an Oxford college, across the road from the house where Alice in Wonderland lived. She has been making up stories all her life.

Book Genre: Childrens, Crime, Fiction, Historical, Historical Fiction, Middle Grade, Mystery, Young Adult Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are taking a holiday on the world-famous Orient Express - and it's clear that each of their fellow first-class passengers has something to hide.I absolutely loved the sixth entry in the series. It's an A for me, so five stars here. In this book Hazel and Daisy go far away from their English boarding school, all the way to Hong Kong. Hazel's grandfather has died, and though she will miss the funeral (travel by ship from England to Hong Kong does take awhile), she will be there to mourn with her family. And of course, Daisy goes along with Hazel. Of course, as in the rest of the series, a murder occurs, and this one hits very close to home, as it appears someone may be framing Hazel for the murder.
