Critics Review
The second book in Robin Stevens’ fabulous Wells and Wong schoolgirl detective series - think St Trinians mixed with Miss Marple. These are thrilling books for tween detectives who adore solving dastardly murders, jolly hockey sticks and iced buns for tea * Guardian *
A feelgood blend of Malory Towers and Cluedo … Stevens has upped her game in this new volume * Telegraph *
An entertaining, nostalgic brainteaser * Sunday Times *
A delight … The Agatha Christie-style clues are unravelled with sustained tension and the whole thing is a hoot from start to finish * Daily Mail *
A feast for readers * New Statesman *
Arsenic for Tea is a joy. A multi-layered sandwich cake of joy … Stylish, charming, witty and delightful … Worth cancelling everything for * Did You Ever Stop to Think *
Even better than its predecessor … Brilliant * The Bookzone *
These Agatha-Christie-indebted tales involve detective duo Daisy Wells and her sidekick Hazel Wong, wealthy schoolgirls from England and Hong Kong. In the first book, they investigated a murder at their boarding school. This time, Daisy’s family’s stately home - a hotbed of jealousy and greed - provides a rich cast of suspects when it’s not just the cake candles that are snuffed out at a birthday tea party. Emotional conflict, logical deduction and the period setting make for an entertaining, nostalgic brainteaser * Sunday Times *
As irresistible and entertaining as the first. Just the thing to devour with a pot of tea and a plate of scones * Young Post *
