SO AMAZING

A fun, comfort read. Daisy and Hazel take a ride on the Orient Express, Hazel's father's idea of keeping them prim and proper. Obviously, our favourite Detective Society members find themselves (delightedly) in the midst of a suspicious set of characters, spies and then a murder. Robin Stevens herself calls it a tribute to the Agatha Christie classic and you can find quite a few references to that book. I enjoyed the book immensely. I thoroughly enjoy books set in such closed transportation means, and Stevens does a good job of putting in a set of interesting characters to spend time with.
The murder plot itself was well done and there are enough red herrings to divert us till the finale. I liked that you are given all the information to work out the murder puzzle for yourself, like the golden age detective fiction. This wasn't too difficult a puzzle to solve and you enjoy the ride. It was great fun!!

Historical fiction. 1930’s. School children. Amateur detectives. Orient Express. Stolen necklace. Murder.
