From the author of Murder Most Unladylike. Schoolgirl detectives Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are at Daisy’s home, Fallingford, for the holidays. Daisy’s glamorous mother is throwing a tea party for Daisy’s birthday, and the whole family is invited, from eccentric Aunt Saskia to dashing Uncle Felix. But it soon becomes clear that this party isn’t really about Daisy at all. Naturally, Daisy is furious. Then one of their party falls seriously, mysteriously ill – and everything points to poison. With wild storms preventing anyone from leaving, or the police from arriving, Fallingford suddenly feels like a very dangerous place to be. Not a single person present is what they seem – and everyone has a secret or two. And when someone very close to Daisy looks suspicious, the Detective Society must do everything they can to reveal the truth …no matter the consequences.

It was so good! It was very exciting and mysterious as the book take you to a crime scene.It makes me want to read more and more of it! It is a book full of emotions like roller coasters between the two main characters:Hazel and Daisy. It’s the perfect book to balance out friendships, arguments and mysteries.There was an unexpected twist at the end that was amazing!

I absolutely loved this book. I am currently reading the rest of these books but this one was good. (Spoiler alert later btw= skip if u don’t want to know) I loved Daisy’s cunning sense of mind but I honestly prefer Hazel as the better character here; she just doesn’t launch herself into danger like Daisy here! I would honestly recommend it to anyone here, because I used to not like murder books, but after reading Murder Most Unladylike (which is the first book), Arsenic for tea and First class murder, my mind has certainly changed. Now for my spoiler alert! The murderer is… (drumroll please) Stephen!! A young boy who wanted to get revenge on Mr Curtis (the victim) for taking something that is lawfully his (his father’s watch) so that shows that anyone and everyone (except the detectives of course) are suspects!!! Thank you for reading .

The characters are all stuck in a mansion and there are floods which means that they cannot leave the house. There are two murders which means that there is a murderer loose in the house. They could strike at any moment and kill any one of them. I felt sorry for the killer because he was doing it because he was living with his mum and they were really poor. I still think that he should not have done it. I would recommend this book to 8-12 year olds.

The second in my favourite series. In this fiction book, two detectives Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells are at Daisy's house in Fallingford for the holidays, and Daisy's birthday. But when one of their guests is poisoned, they must find out who. And everything points to poison.

I thought it was really interesting because there are a lot of things that confuse Daisy, Hazel, Kitty and Beanie. Things look bad from Lord Hastings’s point of view near the end…

This was the most fabulous murder book and mystery book. I have probably ever read because with two murders it must’ve meant that the murderer previous history with the guests (some of them). This was the best book ever. I can’t even describe how much I loved. It is just so much to it and the way that someone pushed lady Hastings over the stair railing and poisoned Mr Curtis, with arsenic in his tea I absolutely loved it and Dr Cooper was cool, but at the start of the book not to mention, Lord Hastings acting utterly suspiciously, like you know, shouting at Mr Curtis to leave, and all that other things he did, but he was also kind of weird how he put salt into Mr Curtis‘s cup and I thought he could be the murderer, but then it all made sense that Stefan was the murderer because Mr Curtis, was a thief. And he fools people into thinking that their stuff is worth nothing, and then he takes it and sells it for lots of money. I don’t blame Stefan for what Mr Curtis did to his family, but murdering him is a bit much. I absolutely loved this book 100%.
