About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

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

Critic reviews

Funny, spirited and grippingly plotted, and starring a brilliant schoolgirl detective double act, whom readers will completely fall for: cool, confident Daisy Wells and quiet yet determined Hazel Wong.
Addictive . . . A rumbustious reworking of Agatha Christie's Orient Express caper
The third book in the Murder Most Unladylike series, First Class Murder harks back to the golden age of boarding school stories, channelling Angela Brazil, Antonia Forest, and Elinor M Brent Dyer with a generous dash of Agatha Christie for good measure. This time, our gymslip-wearing sleuths, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, swap school for a trip on the Orient Express . . . Top larks

As a neurodivergent listener, with a real aversion to mouth sounds and noisy reading, I really struggled with this narration.
The general narration is good, the quality of voices put on for the characters is decent in range and uniqueness, however the constant mouth noise is so distracting and (for me, admittedly more sensitive than others!) disgusting to hear, it really detracts from the story and the setting.
The editing is pretty rough throughout as well, multiple repetitions that should have been cut out, clearly a hastily out together edit which is a shame, as a little more time and effort would have quickly helped sort this out.
Only midway through the story, I'm unsure at this point if I can finish as it's a real struggle to listen to this, first time I've ever been this close to switching off, but it's gripping so far, albeit it's clearly aimed at a younger audience.

I don't like being disparaging but it's unfair to struggle this much and not highlight the issues to others out there.

Story is good, the narration and editing is not
