The Case of the Missing Treasure by Robin Stevens
4.0
It’s the school holidays and the girls from Deepdean School are in London visiting Daisy’s uncle when a mysterious series of burglaries catches the attention of the young detectives. Treasures are going missing from museums all over London! Forbidden to investigate, the girls are glum until two of their friends from a rival school visit and Uncle Felix sets up a treasure hunt for them around the British Museum. Things soon get more exciting than anyone had bargained for.
These murder mysteries for kids are all set in the 1930s in a very well-to-do society London. This is one of the mini mysteries, just 150 pages and easily manageable in a day even for young readers - perfect for encouraging the reading bug in 9-12 year old+. I love them as light fun reading in between some of the heavier reads on my shelves. Think Nancy Drew crossed with the female friendships, school elements and gentle writing style of The Worst Witch and you’d be getting close.
