First Class Murder

Narrated by: Gemma Chan

Brought to you by Puffin.

Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are taking a holiday on the world-famous Orient Express - and it's clear that each of their fellow first-class passengers has something to hide. Even more intriguing: there is rumour of a spy in their midst.

Then, during dinner, there is a scream from inside one of the cabins. When the door is broken down, a passenger is found murdered, her stunning ruby necklace gone. But the killer has vanished - as if into thin air.

Daisy and Hazel are faced with their first ever locked-room mystery - and with competition from several other sleuths, who are just as determined to crack the case.

'A delight . . . Hazel and Daisy are aboard the Orient Express: cue spies, priceless jewels, a murder and seriously upgraded bun breaks' The Bookseller

'Addictive . . . A rumbustious reworking of Agatha Christie's Orient Express caper' New Statesman

Critic reviews

Funny, spirited and grippingly plotted, and starring a brilliant schoolgirl detective double act, whom readers will completely fall for: cool, confident Daisy Wells and quiet yet determined Hazel Wong.

Addictive . . . A rumbustious reworking of Agatha Christie's Orient Express caper

The third book in the Murder Most Unladylike series, First Class Murder harks back to the golden age of boarding school stories, channelling Angela Brazil, Antonia Forest, and Elinor M Brent Dyer with a generous dash of Agatha Christie for good measure. This time, our gymslip-wearing sleuths, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, swap school for a trip on the Orient Express . . . Top larks

amazing narrator and a very entertaining story

This narrator is amazing, she really dives us into the story (both her voice and the way she tells de story). And as always, Murder Most Unladylike keeps being amazing and very entertaining. I love the parallel between the title/story of First Class Murder and the Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. The characters were very charismatic too, I like even the bad ones!
