The second thrilling mystery in the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series!
‘A delight . . . The Agatha Christie-style clues are unravelled with sustained tension and the whole thing is a hoot from start to finish’ Daily Mail
‘A feelgood blend of Malory Towers and Cluedo . . . Stevens has upped her game in this new volume’ TelegraphSchoolgirl 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.

‘The second book in Robin Stevens’ fabulous Wells and Wong schoolgirl detective series – think St Trinians mixed with Miss Marple. These are thrilling books for tween detectives who adore solving dastardly murders, jolly hockey sticks and iced buns for tea’ GuardianReviews
This book was very interesting and for people who haven't read this book yet, the murderer was a person you would never guess. For younger readers, I wouldn't recommend reading this book until you are at least 10 but for older kids, this book is amazing and I would definitely read it as well as the book before this in the series.

Another great book in the murder most unladylike series I can't wait to read all the others. This story was a very challenging one for the detectives and at every page I turned was a new clue and more questions to answer.

It was a great book I couldn’t put it down. And one thing that made it so interesting was that the murderer was the person you least expected it to be. The series is great so for and I can’t wait to read the other ones.
