Death In The Spotlight by Robin Stevens
Jul. 7th, 2019 12:25 amThe Blurb On The Back:
The whole theatre seemed on edge.
There was a feverish atmosphere seeping into every corner of the Rue, as though the whole cast was sickening.
Daisy and I both knew that something was brewing.
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are off to the beautiful Rue Theatre in London, where they will face an entirely new challenge: acting. But behind the theatre’s glittering façade, the girls soon realise that there is trouble at the Rue. Jealousy, threats and horrible pranks quickly spiral out of control – and then one of the cast is found dead.
As opening night looms closer, Hazel and Daisy must take centre stage and solve the crime – before the killer strikes again.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 7th in Robin Stevens’s MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE SERIES for children aged 9+ is another well-plotted mystery filled with some devilish twists and great character development for Daisy and Hazel. I especially liked a key revelation about Daisy and her sexuality (which Stevens does well to contextualise in the time) but Hazel also gains a lot of confidence and self-awareness and I welcomes seeing Alexander and George again.
