A Spoonful Of Murder by Robin Stevens
Feb. 15th, 2018 11:22 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
"A terrible thing has happened, a thing that the Detective Society must investigate. But this time I am not just a detective, I'm a witness. And I think that I might even be a suspect …"
When Hazel Wong's beloved grandfather passes away, Daisy Wells joins Hazel on a visit to her family's estate in beautiful, bustling Hong Kong.
But they are greeted with a shock: there's a new member of the Wong family! As if that isn't enough, tragedy soon strikes not once but twice. There's been a murder and a kidnap and no one is safe from suspicion … not even Hazel.
The girls must work together like never before, confronting dangerous gangs and sinister private detectives to solve the crimes and discover the villain - before it's too late.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The sixth in Robin Stevens's crime series for children aged 9+ is probably the best yet combining another twisting mystery with great character development for both Hazel and Daisy (especially as we see more of Hazel's family and her interaction with them) and a great location in 1930s Hong Kong that combines the Western and Chinese elements very well such that I'm already desperate to see what happens to the girls next.
