About the Books
This complete Murder Most Unladylike collection brings together all eleven books in Robin Stevens's beloved Wells and Wong Mystery series, following best friends Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong from their first case at Deepdean School through international adventures on trains, ocean liners, and film sets. The series opens with the girls stumbling onto the body of their science mistress, launching a secret detective agency that solves crime after crime with sharp observation and old-fashioned detective method. As the books progress, Daisy and Hazel investigate poisonings at school tea parties, murders aboard the Orient Express, and killings on movie sets and transatlantic liners, all while navigating friendship, class, race, and the tricky business of growing up in 1930s England. Two bonus short-story collections round out the set, gathering shorter Deepdean mysteries alongside brand-new cases for readers who want even more puzzles to solve. Each paperback features Robin Stevens's trademark blend of cozy golden-age mystery plotting with genuinely moving character work, exploring how two very different girls become inseparable partners in crime-solving. Hazel's perspective as a Chinese immigrant living in England adds depth and historical nuance rarely found in classic mystery pastiche, while Daisy's dramatic flair keeps every investigation entertaining. Fans of Agatha Christie-style plotting, boarding school stories, and strong female friendships will find plenty to love across this complete set, which rewards reading in order as the central relationship and overarching mysteries deepen from book to book.
