Source: Amazon Why You Should Read Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens If you pick this up, I would recommend reading it after all of the books or at least after books 1-4! And of course, I always recommend the Wells & Wong books. However, I’d definitely recommend reading it later on in the series it’s “set” in 1936 (some of the stories are different years, hence I say “set”), or about then, so Hazel and Daisy are for the most part already established detectives. I think it’s a fun companion to the novels, although I don’t really have a lot to say about this considering I don’t usually review books like this! I can say that it has NO SPOILERS for the series, so you’re free to read this (apart from the quiz at the end!) at any point when you’re reading the books. I definitely have some new mystery novels put onto my list! I found it really interesting to see some of the things behind Robin Stevens’ thoughts on how she wrote the books, and the literature that went into the novels. I really liked all of the extra info in this. I actually dropped this a star because I think it could have just been a book of short stories – I wish that there had been more of them. Whilst the stories aren’t necessarily as high stake as in the novels, but they’re just as interesting! We have Hazel and Daisy’s first mystery the story of the Deepdean Vampire (which since I first heard the title of this story I wanted to read) Alexander and George’s first story and a story written from Beanie’s viewpoint as well!

In this book of short stories, recipes, and handy facts and tips, Hazel, Daisy, Alexander, and even Beanie take us through more detectiveness in this collection.Ĭream Buns and Crime isn’t my usual kind of book, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! It’s a collection of all sorts, and I had a really good time reading it.
