X Buy this book at the Guardian Bookshop.Items in order will be sent as soon as they arrive in the warehouse. I can't wait for the next book in the series which is out in the summer… I think girls in particular will enjoy it but there is plenty to keep boys interested too. I would recommend this book for children 10+. When the inept police haven't worked out the case, the girls reveal their evidence, will they solve it? Read and find out. I was kept guessing because of the unexpected twists and turns in the plot. It has a glossary at the back explaining some period words, which is not only unusual but also helpful and adds to the readers understanding whilst enhancing the setting of the book. I really enjoyed the between the wars setting which gave a charming, period feel to the writing. It is both very interesting and entertaining. The mood in the house is tense, secrets and danger lurk everywhere. As the plot thickens the murderer is at large. The book has many intriguing characters including Daisy's Uncle the suave and charming Felix, Aunt Saskia who is something of a kleptomaniac, antique specialist and conman Mr Curtis and Mrs Alston a governess of whom they have their suspicions, but who committed the crime? Then bad weather forces them all to stay at Fallingford for the whole weekend. She is skinny and tall where Hazel is shorter and more rotund.
By contrast Daisy thinks on her feet and is more compulsive. Hazel is cautious and is always wary of what she is about to get into.
Daisy and Hazel are best friends although they are different in many ways. The book is told from Hazel's point of view. The book is actually the detective societies casebook containing lists of suspects and alibis written up by Hazel. Daisy and Hazel Wong have set up their own private detective society.
