See moreWhen Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong set up their very own secret detective agency at Deepdean School for Girls, they struggle to find any truly exciting mysteries to investigate. (Unless you count the case of Lavinia's missing tie. Which they don't.) Then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym.
Are you sure we shouldn't just go to the police?' I asked. 'Don't be stupid,' said Daisy severely. 'We don't have any evidence yet. We don't even have a body. They'd simply laugh at us. And anyway, this is our murder case.'
Description
Enter the enthralling world of Deepdean School for Girls with the super-special 10th anniversary edition of Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens. This gripping, award-winning mystery introduces readers to the unforgettable schoolgirl detectives, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong. In celebration of a decade of intrigue, this edition includes a new introduction from the author and exclusive, never-before-seen bonus content that will delight both new readers and long-time fans.
When Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong decide to establish their own secret detective agency at Deepdean, they expect to tackle light-hearted school mysteries, such as the odd case of Lavinia's missing tie. However, their sleuthing skills are put to the ultimate test when Hazel stumbles upon the lifeless body of the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, in the gymnasium.
What initially appears to be a tragic accident soon reveals itself to be something much more sinister. Upon returning to the gym just minutes later, Daisy and Hazel make a startling discovery – Miss Bell's body has vanished without a trace. Now confronted with the dual challenges of proving a murder has occurred and identifying the perpetrator, they must navigate a web of lies and secrets that threaten the very foundation of their genteel boarding school.
Murder Most Unladylike masterfully blends mystery, humour, and the trials of adolescent friendships, drawing readers into a captivating 1930s-era English boarding school setting. With its richly drawn characters and brilliantly plotted twists, this novel not only honours the traditions of classic detective fiction but also brings a fresh and engaging perspective.
Join Daisy and Hazel on their most perplexing case yet, and uncover why Robin Stevens' debut novel has captured the hearts of so many. Whether you are revisiting this beloved story or discovering it for the first time, the 10th anniversary edition of Murder Most Unladylike is a must-have for mystery aficionados and young detectives alike.

View allAbout the Author
Robin Stevens 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. When she was twelve, her father handed her a copy of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and she realised that she wanted to be either Hercule Poirot or Agatha Christie when she grew up. When it occurred to her that she was never going to be able to grow her own spectacular walrus moustache, she decided that Agatha Christie was the more achievable option. She spent her teenage years at Cheltenham Ladies' College, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she'd get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn't). She went to university, where she studied crime fiction, and then worked in children's publishing. She is now a full-time writer. Robin now lives in London with her pet bearded dragon, Watson.
