actual rating is more like 4.6 if you take the average from each short story but rounding it up to 5 bc why not lol

Another would be that I don't care particularly for May Wong. Not a big fan of her personality. Let's see how Ministry plays out. (Also not a big fan of Weston School, and not particularly interested in the boys' mysteries.) There are six different stories here, set at different times in Hazel and Daisy's investigative careers, and while the book technically slots in at 6.5 and 8.5 in the series time frame, I think it is the perfect place to start if you want to get a taste for the style and content. The Case of the Deadly Flat: introducing Hazel's little sister May, who's determined to be the greatest spy ever Book Genre: Childrens, Crime, Fiction, Historical, Historical Fiction, Middle Grade, Murder Mystery, Mystery, Short Stories, Young Adult A skilful blend of golden era crime novel and boarding school romp . . .

May Wong and The Deadly Flat

for the case of the uninvited guest, maybe a long piece of paper that looks like a list hanging from one of the corners and a wedding ring that is placed on the curling end of the ‘N’ (In the word “Once”). The Hound of Weston School: 5 stars - I love the Junior Pinkertons (especially Alexander bc he’s just so nice for no reason) and his relationship with Hazel is so cute - the end of the letter was *insert keyboard smash*

[10] She also announced that there would be a new book (the first of a new series), coming out in 2022. The Ministry of Unladylike Activity will star Hazel Wong's (read below) little sister and two other characters, as yet to be named. This new series is set during World War II. The Case of the Second Scream: 5 stars - It felt like old times - but the end??? HELP??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I need to know what happened now there too lol The cutest part was of course Hazel and Alexander but while we have a much more fleshed out narrative on Alexander's side there wasn't enough of them and what they've been doing after Death Sets Sail. There wasn't quite enough information about anyone, really. It all felt rather disjointed, random and abrupt.W tej książce widać ogromny progres bohaterów jak i również samej autorki. Ta cześć jest bardziej dojarzała i poważana (chociaż nie zawsze). I am a huge Agatha Christie fan, and these short stories perfectly capture the magic of the best of her golden-age mysteries, but with fresh and funny new characters that I immediately fell in love with. ALA Notable Children's Book, for Murder Most Unladylike (published as Murder is Bad Manners in the USA) [12] Once Upon a Crime is a mix of old favourites and new stories. It collects up The Case of the Missing Treasure and The Case of the Drowned Pearl for readers who haven’t been able to get hold of them yet ( Pearl, in particular, hasn’t been available outside the UK and Ireland, and I know that readers in Australia, New Zealand and America have been desperate to read it – so here it is for you at last!).

i don't really have much to say about this like i did for Death Sets Sail - i think that this was more a bridge into the new series than a commemoration of what had already happened in the murder most unladylike series, but the short stories were still fun and the author's notes at the end were :,))) For the case of the deadly flat, the murder weapon (a knife or pistol, I would imagine), a key. Maybe there could even be the illusion that the pistol (if there is any) has shot the corner of the book The series is set in the 1930s, sparking the Golden Age references. It also focuses on period-typical homophobia and racism.The Case of the Uninvited Guest: Uncle Felix and Aunt Lucy's wedding is the target for an unlikely threat Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are the stars of the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries.

The Case of the Drowned Pearl: murder follows the Detective Society wherever they go, even on holiday...

May Wong and the Deadly Flat: 4.75* (i think i was feeling generous when i made this lol) - May is kinda my least favourite of the siblings (except for teddy bc I don’t have an opinion on him) and she can be kinda annoying but this was still pretty fun and I’m interested to see how she goes in the ministry of unladylike activity:) Stevens's eleven book series Murder Most Unladylike consists of schoolgirl detectives, Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells, as they solve murders, as well as personal things. Hazel falls in love with American boy Alexander Arcady, as Daisy struggles with her feelings for other girls. She eventually comes out to Hazel as she falls for Martita Torrera in book seven, Death In The Spotlight, and begins a relationship with Amina from Deepdean during "Death Sets Sail". As well as ten full-length murder mysteries, there are also six mini mysteries featuring these characters. Stevens has vocalised how she believes LGBTQI+ relationships are not portrayed in children's literature at all, and not enough in literature in general, and so she has made many of the characters LGBTQ+.
