Welcome to Litsy!

Pretty good reading month in august

Another great book by Robin Stevens. This mystery was set at the Rue Theatre in London. They face a new challenge: acting. Behind the lights and glittering facade, there is something sinister that must be investigated.
This book seemed more grown up and diverse including BAME and LGBT characters of all ages.
A brilliant YA voice and a must read for fans of mysteries. Only two left in the series to read 🥲

Onto book 7 now and Hazel and Daisy are on stage in a play in London. There friends Alexander and George help out with this mystery. And as usual there is a dead body and they can't wait to start investigating. Another good read from Murder Most Unladylike series! #books

My name is Hazel Wong, and I am a detective.

Two book series I really enjoy! The 7th book in the Murder Most Unladylike series and the latest from the historical crime fiction of Inspectors Frey and McGray set in Edinburgh in the 1889. #tbr

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 welcomed seeing Alexander and George again.
