It begins at their boarding school, Deepdean, where the girls form the secret Detective Society after stumbling on a body in the gym, and expands outward into a widening world of 1930s intrigue. Readers follow the pair as they solve crimes on the Orient Express, at a snowy country house over the holidays, aboard a ship bound for Hong Kong, and behind the scenes of a glamorous theater. Alongside the core mystery novels, this set also includes two companion volumes of short stories that widen the cast and deepen the Detective Society's history. Stevens blends classic golden-age detective fiction with a warm, character-driven voice, exploring friendship, identity, and courage as Daisy and Hazel navigate being outsiders in a world quick to underestimate them. Each mystery is plotted with fair-play clues, red herrings, and satisfying reveals that reward attentive young readers. The historical settings are richly drawn without feeling like a history lesson, and the warmth of the girls' friendship keeps the tone light even as crimes grow complex. Collected in matching paperback editions, this set is ideal for readers working through the series in order or revisiting favorite cases, and a wonderful introduction to mystery fiction for kids ready for something cleverer and a little more grown-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete eleven-book paperback collection in one convenient set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows the same beloved detective duo across all books for easy series reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFair-play mysteries with genuine clues that reward careful young readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich 1930s historical settings that entertain without feeling like homework\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for confident middle-grade readers ready to move beyond easy chapter books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for birthdays, holidays, or building a classroom or home library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMurder Most Unladylike — Daisy and Hazel form the Detective Society after finding their teacher's body at Deepdean School.\u003cbr\u003eArsenic for Tea — A summer birthday party at Daisy's family home turns deadly when a guest is poisoned.\u003cbr\u003eFirst Class Murder — The Detective Society investigates a murder aboard the glamorous Orient Express.\u003cbr\u003eJolly Foul Play — A case unfolds back at Deepdean during a chaotic bonfire night event.\u003cbr\u003eMistletoe and Murder — A festive Cambridge college visit is disrupted by a shocking Christmastime crime.\u003cbr\u003eCream Buns and Crime — A collection of short mysteries and extra cases starring the Detective Society.\u003cbr\u003eA Spoonful of Murder — Hazel returns to Hong Kong and finds herself caught up in a family mystery.\u003cbr\u003eDeath in the Spotlight — The girls investigate backstage secrets at a bustling London theater production.\u003cbr\u003eTop Marks for Murder — A reunion at Deepdean brings old rivalries and a fresh murder to solve.\u003cbr\u003eDeath Sets Sail — The Detective Society's adventures continue aboard a ship sailing the Nile.\u003cbr\u003eOnce Upon a Crime — Another collection of short stories expanding the world of the Detective Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobin Stevens is the British author of the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries, a series that has introduced a generation of young readers to classic detective fiction.
