Brought to you by Puffin.

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.

Then, during dinner, there is a scream from inside one of the cabins. When the door is broken down, a passenger is found murdered, her stunning ruby necklace gone. But the killer has vanished - as if into thin air.

Daisy and Hazel are faced with their first ever locked-room mystery - and with competition from several other sleuths, who are just as determined to crack the case.

'A delight . . . Hazel and Daisy are aboard the Orient Express: cue spies, priceless jewels, a murder and seriously upgraded bun breaks' The Bookseller

'Addictive . . . A rumbustious reworking of Agatha Christie's Orient Express caper' New Statesman

©2016 Robin Stevens (P)2016 Penguin Audio

Robin Stevens was born in California and grew up in an Oxford college, across the road from the house where Alice in Wonderland lived. She has been making up stories all her life.

When she was twelve, her father handed her a copy of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and she realised that she wanted to be either Hercule Poirot or Agatha Christie when she grew up. She spent her teenage years at Cheltenham Ladies' College, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she'd get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn't). She went to university, where she studied crime fiction, and then she worked at a children's publisher.

Robin is now a full-time author and the creator of the internationally award-winning and bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series, starring Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, and the brand-new Ministry of Unladylike Activity. She still hopes she might get the chance to do some detecting of her own one day. She lives in England.

Reviews

Funny, spirited and grippingly plotted, and starring a brilliant schoolgirl detective double act, whom readers will completely fall for: cool, confident Daisy Wells and quiet yet determined Hazel Wong. Addictive . . . A rumbustious reworking of Agatha Christie's Orient Express caper The third book in the Murder Most Unladylike series, First Class Murder harks back to the golden age of boarding school stories, channelling Angela Brazil, Antonia Forest, and Elinor M Brent Dyer with a generous dash of Agatha Christie for good measure. This time, our gymslip-wearing sleuths, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, swap school for a trip on the Orient Express . . . Top larks Expand reviews
