‘This is that rare thing: a series that gets better with every book’ Telegraph
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are back at Deepdean, and the school is preparing for a most exciting event: the fiftieth Anniversary.
But Deepdean has changed. Daisy has lost her crown to a fascinating new girl, and many of the Detective Society's old allies are now their sworn enemies.
Then the girls witness a shocking incident in the woods close by - a crime that they're sure is linked to the Anniversary. As Deepdean students from decades past descend upon the school, old grudges, rivalries and secrets threaten to surface – and to destroy Deepdean.
Can the girls solve the case - and save their home?
Discover the beloved murder mystery phenomenon that has sold over a million copies.

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.
