The final novel in the number-one bestselling, award-winning Murder Most Unladylike series.
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.
A triumphant conclusion to a satisfying, wide-ranging series that
deserves to be read for years to come
*Guardian*
Few series can maintain the thrills and pace over nine books, but
Stevens has done so with aplomb . . . Fiendishly clever plotting, a
gorgeous Egyptian backdrop, a startling denouement and romance for
both our heroines. A triumphant finale for a much-loved series
*The Bookseller*
Robin Stevens's hugely successful Murder Most Unladylike detective
series, which has a passionate following for its period flavour,
ingenuity and belief in kindness and tolerance, comes to an end . .
. Inspired by Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile and set in the
1930s, the story unfolds neatly and is satisfyingly twisty
*Sunday Times*
A clever murder mystery that sucks the reader in and pays homage to
queen of crime, Agatha Christie. This is a fantastic read that
should please fans
