Wells and Wong are back; in Cambridge for Christmas this time, and SURPRISE, Happy Christmas girls, there's a body to deal with. Which of course they do in their inimitable style, assisted by none other than the Junior Pinkertons. Now *that* sets the cat amongst the Daisy-shaped pigeons, which is really very funny to watch through Hazel's eyes. Whispering along in the background is another plot entirely; a fascinating look at what it was like to be a woman at university in the thirties, and a further three non-white characters. Stevens deftly weaves all this together into a pleasing Christmas murder mystery.

Robin Stevens just gets how a good detective story should work. I loved the story and it was a good setting. I could feel the Dorothy sayers bleeding into the story. Whilst the feminism was a little heavy handed it might work well for teenagers. I loved watching wells and Wong grow up a bit more and seeing some of the gay subtexts being hinted at more and more. It was great!
