Jolly Foul Play: A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery (A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery, 4)

Product Information

Hazel and Daisy are going to Hong Kong! And you can already guess that their visit will be much more than what they came for! Anche se non sempre le ha fatto piacere, si nota che il suo atteggiamento sta migliorando sempre più, ed è capace di stare al fianco di Hazel, quando ce n'è bisogno, mettendo (quasi) da parte il suo orgoglio. Do you see why I think we may have a new mystery to investigate? The other girls in our dorm, Kitty, Beanie and Lavinia, will help me and Daisy – but I wishit would be useful to have the Junior Pinkertons on the case as well. Will you and George help as well?

Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong have returned to Deepdean School for a new school term, but nothing is the same. There’s a new Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, and a team of Prefects – and these bullying Big Girls are certainly not good eggs. Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found – murdered. Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play? Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school? And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery? I can't wait to see what the next book will bring and what kind of mystery the girls will have to solve there.I loved it❤️ This book took a bit of time to settle but once it did, I wasn’t able to put it down. The ending was unpredictable and there was a twist too.The twist will shakeeeee youuuu! The relocation means that, for once, it's Daisy who's out of her depth and trying to figure out the ways of the world. It's deliciously done, without ever disempowering her, and can I tell you how difficult an act that is? To write and to never, ever, not even once, devalue nor disempower character? It's a rare, rare thing and one that is kind of beautiful and wonderful to read. It also speaks a lot about Stevens' trust in this series and her work. She doesn't mess this up, not once. Hazel is wonderful throughout, providing an introduction to her home city of Hong Kong and the intricacies of dim sum even as she's wrestling with the thought that she is, herself, a suspect. All the books in this series are written really well and not only that but the author comes up with really good mysteries for the characters to decipher. Of course, as in the rest of the series, a murder occurs, and this one hits very close to home, as it appears someone may be framing Hazel for the murder.

Hello Detectives! There’s just ONE MONTH TO GO until the second book in my new series, The Body in the Blitz, is published! My chaperones from my publisher, Harriet, Nat, Sophia and Annie. Authors on tour need people to tell them where to go and what to do, and also to write names on post-it notes so when they’re signing the hundredth copy of their book, they spell the person’s name right. Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are taking a holiday on the world-famous Orient Express – and it’s clear that each of their fellow first-class passengers has something to hide. Even more intriguing: there is rumour of a spy in their midst. Il nuovo trimestre è appena, ma Daisy e Hazel capiscono subito che qualcosa è cambiato. C’è una nuova caposcuola, Elizabeth, che tiranneggia le altre ragazze. Dopo il falò della notte però Elizabeth viene trovata morta. È stato un incidente? Come faranno Daisy e Hazel a risolvere il mistero ora che la loro amicizia è in crisi?Another superb mystery by our talented author “Robin Stevens”😇 This book was so good! The mystery was really good amd there was a twist in the starting too. This book sets in Hong Kong and to be frank I didn’t quite much liked the atmosphere of this book as compared to the other ones.....but that doesn’t makes this book any less good😊 Jolly Foul Play is the fourth book in the Murder Most Unladylike series. It is written by Robin Stevens. The story takes place on Bonfire Night at Deepdean School for Girls. Two weeks. Five days. Ten schools. Ten train journeys. Three hotels. Five bookstores. And six bunbreaks (at a conservative estimate). The Jolly Foul Play schools tour was the most exciting, exhausting and amazing thing I’ve ever done as an author. I could literally listen to Robin Stevens describe streets and houses and weather for hours I’m not even kidding. I loved hers descriptions of hong kong and the dynamic of hazel and her parents and servants and siblings. The power balance was thrown off because we were in hazels element and so Daisy this book was interesting to watch and see her cope with that

She spent her teenage years at Cheltenham Ladies’ College, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she’d get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn’t). She then went to university, where she studied crime fiction, and then worked at a children's publisher. Ich muss sagen, dass ich diese Krimireihen mit jungen Mädels als "Detektivinnen" mittlerweile echt sehr mag und gerade Daisy Wells und Hazel Wong haben auf eine besondere Weise mein Herz erobert. Eigentlich fast ein bisschen spröde, jede auf ihre Art, aber trotzdem ein unglaublich tolles Duo bei all ihren Ermittlungen, die sich perfekt ergänzen.Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong have returned to Deepdean for a new term, but nothing is the same. There's a new Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, and a team of prefects - and these bullying Big Girls are certainly not good eggs. Tensions are running high. Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found - murdered. Book Genre: Childrens, Crime, Fiction, Historical, Historical Fiction, Middle Grade, Mystery, Young Adult This seemed much more grown-up than the prior books (as befits its aging protagonists, I suppose), and the new setting of Hong Kong and a much greater prominence for Hazel certainly helps. It's yet another one I tore through, anxious to find out what happened. Nothing like a baby in jeopardy to help amp up the tension!

Robin Stevens was born in California and grew up in an Oxford college, across the road from the house where Alice in Wonderland lived. She has been making up stories all her life.Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found – murdered. Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play? Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school? And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery? The third mystery in the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series; just like the iconic Agatha Christie, Hazel and Daisy have boarded the Orient Express! PDF / EPUB File Name: Jolly_Foul_Play__A_Murder_Most_Unladylike_-_Robin_Stevens.pdf, Jolly_Foul_Play__A_Murder_Most_Unladylike_-_Robin_Stevens.epub I really, really do. One of the things I love about my job is that I get to push good books at people. Not, I hasten to add, literally. I do not stand on street corners pushing books. I talk to people in my libraries and I share with them the books that are just classy and good and brilliant things. Stevens is at the top of her game here, because she takes risks and makes them work in a quite wonderful fashion. This isn't the same old same old framework, resting on its laurels. Hazel and Daisy are in Hong Kong and there's a murder and a kidnap to solve. I absolutely loved the sixth entry in the series. It's an A for me, so five stars here. In this book Hazel and Daisy go far away from their English boarding school, all the way to Hong Kong. Hazel's grandfather has died, and though she will miss the funeral (travel by ship from England to Hong Kong does take awhile), she will be there to mourn with her family. And of course, Daisy goes along with Hazel.
