Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens, read by Gemma Chan.

When 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. She assumes it was a terrible accident - but when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared. Now Hazel and Daisy not only have a murder to solve; they have to prove one happened in the first place.

Determined to get to the bottom of the crime before the killer strikes again (and before the police can get there first, naturally), Hazel and Daisy must hunt for evidence, spy on their suspects and use all the cunning and intuition they can muster. But will they succeed? And can their friendship stand the test?

Jolly good fun

Set in an English boarding school in the 1930s, this charming mystery is as enjoyable for adults as for teens. Gemma Chan (of Humans TV series) narrates this fun-filled (apart from the murders, obviously) romp, providing a glimpse of life in posh 1930s boarding schools.

The main character is from Hong Kong and the book even occasionally subtly and deftly weaves in elements of the main character coping with racism and bullying, but it doesn't feel remotely preachy or scary. Just genuine. A fast, fun read, perfect for when you just want to relax with a good yarn.

A spaghetti plate of surprise

Murder most unladylike is such a well thought out novel! I first got the books from a friend years ago and only a year later, I started reading them and fell in love. Told through the eyes of Hazel Wong, you can really get a feel of what happens inside the character's heads. Daisy's cool as a cucumber attitude juxtaposed with Hazel's level headed, slightly shy personality makes for a brilliant feeling of conflict in the places you trust most as well as ending in giggles every time. As you journey through the girl's mysterious case, you are sent of a rollercoaster of twists and turns much like pieces of spaghetti until you realise with them that the real culprit was the garlic bread. Truly a series worth investing in. Read them all. Now. You will not expect anything that happens in any of these books.

Not worth the effort

It was reasonably well read but it was bland and uninteresting and not a very satisfying experience. I will not buy any other books in this series.

Chan-tastic

A fantastic story and extremely well narrated by Gemma Chan who herself is a brilliant actress and narrator. Being a murder mystery fan, especially Agatha Christie and as this is set during the thirties it has the same language and mindset of Poirot. Cannot wait to listen to the others.
