Murder Most Unladylike

This is the book that got me into murder mysteries. It’s set in a boarding school called Deapdean School for Girls, in the 1930s, before WW2. The two main characters, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, are second years at this school, and together, they make up the Wells and Wong Detective Society, Daisy acting as Sherlock Holmes, and Hazel being her assistant, Watson. Daisy and Hazel are always hoping to find and solve a real mystery, but unfortunately for them, all that is available are cases like “The Case of Lavinia’s Missing Tie”, and other small, non-murder related cases. Unfortunately, their first “real mystery” will be sooner than they expect.
This is a great book because it’s very good for people who enjoy a good mystery, but do not like all the gory details that are mentioned in other murder mysteries. As one of those people, I think this is also a good book for people just starting to read this genre.
