A marvellously mysterious collection of short stories, fascinating facts and terrific detective tips from the world of Murder Most Unladylike.
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 Oxford.
Marvellously mysterious . . . Perfect for mystery super-fans
