Towards the end of the book, Hazel and Daisy come across an old notebook, which turns out to be the diary of another character Verity Abraham, the girl who was rumored in the story to have committed suicide by jumping off the Gym balcony the term before Hazel arrived . The diary serves as evidence that Miss Griffin, the headmistress has spoken to her a few weeks ago and informed her that she was Verity's true mother and that Mr. and Mrs. Abraham had adopted her. Miss Griffin had become an unmarried mother, which at the time was not considered normal and would have affected her chances of becoming headmistress. Verity forbids this fact, but Miss Griffin then provides her with evidence of her birth and the adoption, too. Then, she asks Verity to join her as her daughter, but Verity denies it and says Mr. and Mrs. Abraham are her parents. Afterwards, Verity had received a note from Miss Griffin, which was found in the diary. Then, after she met Miss Griffin, she disappeared, which was when Verity was said to have committed suicide. Following this, there is a note proving who the murderer is at the end, written by Miss Bell. Miss Griffin would have disposed of it if not for Miss Bell hiding it. Now Hazel and Daisy not only have a murder to solve: they have to prove a murder happened in the first place. Determined to get to the bottom of the crime before the killer strikes again (and before the police can get there first, naturally), Hazel and Daisy must hunt for evidence, spy on their suspects and use all the cunning, scheming and intuition they can muster. But will they succeed? And can their friendship stand the test? The Case of the Missing Treasure: [ rating from when already read upon publication prior to the release of death in the spotlight] 4.25* - it's a nice change reading from daisy's perspective but i prefer hazel's lol

The Hound of Weston School: 5 stars - I love the Junior Pinkertons (especially Alexander bc he’s just so nice for no reason) and his relationship with Hazel is so cute - the end of the letter was *insert keyboard smash* i don't really have much to say about this like i did for Death Sets Sail - i think that this was more a bridge into the new series than a commemoration of what had already happened in the murder most unladylike series, but the short stories were still fun and the author's notes at the end were :,))) And when someone very close to Daisy looks suspicious, the Detective Society must do everything they can to reveal the truth . . . no matter the consequences.
I (40) got this for my daughter (8) but stole it and adored it so much that it is now MY book for good... she'll have to get her own copy! (Plus, I think she is more of a Rose than a Hazel and therefore might prefer something a little less murdery and a little more ladylike really). Some parents might object to the things I find objectionable- others might object to references to adult sexuality and to homosexuality. Regardless, I don’t think it’s intended for ten or even twelve year olds
Murder Is Bad Manners Book Review | Common Sense Media
It's the sixth murder mystery for The Detective Society! This time, though, one of them is the suspect...The third mystery in the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series; just like the iconic Agatha Christie, Hazel and Daisy have boarded the Orient Express! But then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym. She thinks it must all have been a terrible accident – but when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared. Now the girls know a murder must have taken place . . . and there’s more than one person at Deepdean with a motive. There are six different stories here, set at different times in Hazel and Daisy's investigative careers, and while the book technically slots in at 6.5 and 8.5 in the series time frame, I think it is the perfect place to start if you want to get a taste for the style and content. Then, the next day at Prayers, the other students also notice the absence of their science mistress, but they are satisfied when the headteacher informed them that she has received a resignation letter from Miss Bell. Following this, Miss Tennyson has also died. A note was beside her corpse, stating that the murderer was sorry, but she knew she had to do it. Daisy and Hazel, however, are not. They work tirelessly to piece the clues together and solve the mystery. The Case of the Second Scream: 5 stars - It felt like old times - but the end??? HELP??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I need to know what happened now there too lol
Great Deal
