About this book

Detective duo Wells and Wong return for another mystery at Deepdean School for Girls in the fourth instalment of the 'Murder Most Unladylike' series.

It's a brand-new term and everything has changed. School bully Elizabeth Hurst has become Head Girl and, along with her gang of prefects (the 'Big Girls'), is ruling the school. Even Daisy and Hazel aren't getting along, but after Elizabeth is found murdered at the school Bonfire Night celebrations, they are forced to put their differences aside to try and solve the murder. With so many potential enemies to consider, could this be their trickiest crime yet?

Robin Stevens succeeds yet again in keeping us hooked with this witty and thoroughly entertaining storyline.
