Overview
Step into the world of Deepdean School for Girls, where two unlikely best friends turn amateur sleuths and refuse to let a single mystery go unsolved. This eleven-book paperback collection follows Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong of the Detective Society as they investigate murders on trains, at Christmas house parties, aboard cruise ships, and behind the scenes of a West End theater. Clever, funny, and full of twists, this collection is a must-have for young mystery lovers who enjoy puzzles wrapped in charming period settings and unforgettable friendship.

About the Books
The Murder Most Unladylike collection brings together Robin Stevens' beloved detective duo, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, across eleven page-turning paperback adventures. 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.
