Product Details
- Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are taking a holiday on the world-famous Orient Express - and it's clear that each of their fellow first-class passengers has something to hide. Even more intriguing: there is rumour of a spy in their midst. Then, during dinner, there is a scream from inside one of the cabins. When the door is broken down, a passenger is found murdered, her stunning ruby necklace gone. But the killer has vanished - as if into thin air. Daisy and Hazel are faced with their first ever locked-room mystery - and with competition from several other sleuths, who are just as determined to crack the case. 'A delight . . . Hazel and Daisy are aboard the Orient Express: cue spies, priceless jewels, a murder and seriously upgraded bun breaks' The Bookseller 'Addictive . . . A rumbustious reworking of Agatha Christie's Orient Express caper' New Statesman

Mysteries & Detectives Editorial Review
**** "First Class Murder" is the latest intriguing addition to Robin Stevens' "Murder Most Unladylike" series, capturing readers with its delightful blend of mystery, character development, and evocative settings. Set aboard the luxurious Orient Express, the story follows young detectives Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong as they navigate the complexities of a murder investigation while also managing their relationship with Hazel's strict father, who is determined to keep them out of trouble. The book shines in its rich atmosphere, immediately immersing readers in the elegant yet confined world of the train. Stevens exhibits a strong homage to Agatha Christie, striking a balance that feels both familiar and fresh. The dynamic between Daisy and Hazel continues to evolve throughout the novel, showcasing their individual strengths and weaknesses as they collaborate to solve the murder. Readers have highlighted the effective portrayal of Hazel as a character worthy of focus in this installment, emphasizing her growth and the way she contrasts with Daisy's more boisterous personality. The mystery itself, along with various side characters, provides a myriad of suspects and suspense that keeps the reader engaged right up to the satisfying conclusion. Additionally, the series does not shy away from addressing important historical contexts, subtly hinting at the tensions of the impending World War II, thus enriching the narrative and providing depth beyond the mystery. Overall, "First Class Murder" proves to be a captivating read for both young readers and adults alike, with its clever plotting, engaging characters, and exquisite setting making a strong case for the future installments in the series. **
