A Spoonful of Murder is a detective novel by Robin Stevens and is part of the best selling series: A Murder Most Unladylike. It was published in 2016 but set in 1930s England, with the characters travelling to Hong Kong. The main characters are two girls called Daisy and Hazel who go to Hong Kong because Hazel’s beloved grandfather dies but soon after there are two murders and a kidnapping!
When Hazel Wong (vice president of the Detective Society) was in boarding school (Deepdean School of Girls), she receives a call from her father and he tells her that her grandfather died and that she must go to Hong Kong to mourn. Hazel also wants to bring her English friend Daisy Wells (president of the Detective Society) along too.
When they arrive, there is a new member of the wealthy Wong family: Hazel has a baby brother, Teddy. A boy in Hong Kong was a life-changer, they were more favoured and valuable. Hazel’s old, most favourite maid was Su Li but she was Teddy’s maid when he was born and no longer Hazel’s so she hated Teddy for it. When Su Li was murdered and Teddy was kidnapped, everyone suspected Hazel and it was up to the Detective Society once again to solve the case and this time, clear Hazel’s name.
Umaima (7Y) said, “It was really enjoyable! You just want to keep reading more even when you get to the end. I liked it a lot and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys detective stories. A five-star rating from me!”
