Description
On vacation with Hazel's father, Daisy and Hazel secretly investigate a murder on the Orient Express, rushing to solve it before another murder occurs or someone else finds the killer. Book #3
Quick Summary
Imagine Daisy and Hazel, the unstoppable sleuths from "Murder Most Unladylike," trading their school for a luxurious ride on the Orient Express, where they stumble upon a mysterious passenger dead in a first-class compartment and quickly start solving the case. With quick wits, a stash of disguises, and a lot of humor, they race against the clock to catch a killer before anyone else gets hurt, mixing laugh-out-loud moments like Hazel's dad accidentally spilling his tea on a secret note with genuine tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It's especially great for kids who love humor, friendship, and the thrill of solving puzzles, and the exotic setting on a historic train adds a cool, adventurous flair. Parents will appreciate that the mystery is light-hearted but still teaches teamwork, empathy, and thinking before acting, with no graphic violence just the right amount of suspense for middle-grade readers. If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced mystery that feels like a classic whodunit with a modern, sassy twist, give "First Class Murder" a try; it's basically a pocket-sized version of an Agatha Christie adventure for the younger set.
