Death Sets Sail by Robin Stevens
Sep. 7th, 2020 12:24 amThe Blurb On The Back:
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are in Egypt, taking a cruise along the Nile. They are hoping to see some ancient temples and a mummy or two; what they get, instead, is MURDER.
Also taking the cruise is a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ANCIENT PHAROAHS. When their leader is found stabbed to death, and her SLEEPWALKING DAUGHTER awakens covered in blood, Daisy and Hazel begin their most difficult case yet.
But there is DANGER ALL AROUND, and this time only one of the Detective Society will make it home alive …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 9th and final book in Robin Stevens’s MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE SERIES for children aged 9+ is a suitable send-off to the Wong and Wells detective duo. We know from the start that one girl won’t survive but their friendship remains front and centre even as they both get some romance and Hazel resolves her relationship with her father and sisters. I’ll miss this series but am looking forward to new adventures with Hazel’s sister May.
