April 2016 Book of the Month Gosh, but the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries are jolly good reads! After their adventures on the Orient Express, crime-solving friends Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are back at school for a new term. From the outset though, the atmosphere at school is different, nastier: the new head girl Elizabeth Hurst is a thoroughly bad egg, maintaining her authority through bullying and even blackmail. When she’s found dead at the school firework display, Daisy is convinced it’s murder and determined to discover the truth. Boarding schools make a perfect setting for murder mysteries, all claustrophobia, shifting alliances and niggling irritations between the girls, and this is a particularly atmospheric story. Stevens is as good at describing the relationships between the girls, and the social customs of the times as she is at plotting, it’s no wonder that these books have such a devoted following amongst readers. 

Readers will also enjoy Katherine Woodfine’s The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow, another entertaining helping of sleuthing set in an Edwardian department store, and Patricia Elliott’s Connie Carew Mysteries. ~ Andrea Reece
