What you need to know before your trail

Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong set up their very own secret detective agency at Deepdean School for Girls. However there is one problem – that there doesn’t seem to be any cases to solve or even investigate.

But everything changes when Hazel finds the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym. Probably a terrible accident but when she goes for help and returns with Daisy, the body has gone! Well, the girls wanted something to investigate but now they have to prove that there was a body in the first place!

Then there’s the worry that this might not be the first body…..can they prove  what they saw and stop anything else happening

Travel Guide

Robin Stevens was born in California  but spent her teenager year at Cheltenham Ladies’ College, reading a lot of murder mysteries and probably subconsciously plotting this series of books set in Deepdean School.

Deepdean school is a large, school for girls where there is a tight selection process for the teachers and  where the church pipe organ like in other schools of this type bellows out and you can hear it no matter where you are.

This is a boarding school of the type that Nancy Drew and Enid Blyton would have attended. Where Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie would have had a field day. Wells and Wong set up a detective agency – they’re both two of the best pretenders – girls who pretend they aren’t as intelligent or rich as they are – popularity is everything here!
