I really liked this book because I found it very tense and thrilling.My favourite character in this book is Hazel because she stands out due to her growth and increased confidence throughout the series.Also,the part that really made me interested is when Hazel and Daisy found a body in a well in a basement underneath the Rue Theatre,this part made me desperate to find out what was going to happen next.

I loved this book . It is set in a theatre rehearsing Romeo and Juliet but the actress playing Juliet is being sent threats and then she is murdered.

The best murder crime I've read yet! Two girls Daisy and Hazel are sent of by Daisy's uncle to a theatre, to stay out of detecting trouble. Only, muder strikes, and famous actress, Rose Tree, is reported dead. The girls follow the trail, only this muder was one of a kind. On the day of the dreaded show, the girls must work quickly, before all the members of the theatre are killed... Can the girls prove that this muder is not what we think, or will the characters Romeo and Julliet really be killed...? I think I would deffinately recommend this to children over 8 whom are looking for a new book. After this a whole series awaits you, of when it all started in Deepden, school for girls, and a teacher is proclaimed dead...

i have rated this as 3 star because i found the beginning and the end a little boring.

Death in the Spotlight was amazing to read after all the other books by Robin Stevens. This is one of my favourite books after Death Sets Sail. My favourite character is Hazel because she is just so funny with Daisy, her best friend and fellow member of the Detective Society. I would definitely recommend the whole Murder Most Unladylike series and the Ministry of Unladylike Activity series to someone else (ages 9 and over).
Nurse Ursula Foxtail 03.08.2024
I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SERIES! Robin Stevens writes them so well! My favourite character in this one is Hazel, because she is so different to Daisy but they get along so well! I would recommend this to anyone who likes historical fiction and murder mystery!

AMAZING This book just so happens to be from my favourite series of all time and I love it. Personally, I think Robin Stevens is underrated. Only two of my freindss have heard of her.
