Ein spannender Mädchen-Krimi ganz im Stil Agatha Christies, mit viel Internatsflair und zwei Heldinnen, die jeder gern zur Freundin hätte Two friends form a detective agency—and must solve their first murder case—in this “sharp-witted debut” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) that is the first adventure in a brand-new middle grade mystery series set at a 1930s boarding school. After a decade of writing the Murder Most Unladylike series, the author admitted that it felt like the end of an era — and “saying goodbye to friends”— when it came time to write Death Sets Sail.Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school? When Hazel Wong’s beloved grandfather passes away, Daisy Wells is all too happy to accompany her friend (and Detective Society Vice President) to Hazel’s family estate in beautiful, bustling Hong Kong. But when they arrive they discover something they didn’t expect: there’s a new member of the Wong family. Daisy and Hazel think baby Teddy is enough to deal with, but as always the girls are never far from a mystery. Tragedy strikes very close to home, and this time Hazel isn’t just the detective. She’s been framed for murder! Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are taking a holiday on the world-famous Orient Express - and it’s clear that each of their fellow first-class passengers has something to hide. Even more intriguing: there is rumour of a spy in their midst. Also travelling on the SS Hatshepsut is a mysterious society called the Breath of Life: a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ancient pharaohs. Three days into the cruise their leader is found dead in her cabin, stabbed during the night. But it soon becomes clear that this party isn't really about Daisy at all. Naturally, Daisy is furious.

Then, the next day at Prayers, the other students also notice the absence of their science mistress, but they are satisfied when the headteacher informed them that she has received a resignation letter from Miss Bell. Following this, Miss Tennyson has also died. A note was beside her corpse, stating that the murderer was sorry, but she knew she had to do it. Daisy and Hazel, however, are not. They work tirelessly to piece the clues together and solve the mystery. Ma poco dopo, quando lei e l’amica Daisy tornano sul luogo del delitto, il corpo della professoressa è scomparso. Earlier this month, it was announced that May Wong would be front-and-centre in a linked series, The Ministry of Unladylike Activity. There’s still a little while to go until the first book in the series hits shelves in August 2022, but the author did share a bit about what fans can expect. A delight . . .
