Death Sets Sail
Death Sets Sail: A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery | Robin Stevens
8 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
The final novel in the number-one bestselling, award-winning Murder Most Unladylike series. Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are in Egypt, where they are taking a cruise along the Nile. They are hoping to see some ancient temples and a mummy or two; what they get, instead, is murder. Also travelling on the SS Hatshepsut is a mysterious society called the Breath of Life: a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ancient pharaohs. Three days into the cruise their leader, Theodora Miller, is found dead in her cabin, stabbed during the night. It soon becomes clear to Daisy and Hazel that Theodora's timid daughter Hephzibah, who is prone to sleepwalking, is being framed. And within the society, everyone has a reason to want Theodora dead... Daisy and Hazel leap into action and begin to investigate their most difficult case yet. But there is danger all around, and only one of the Detective Society will make it home alive...

So we reach the final book in the series, this is set on a boat sailing down the Nile. Daisy and Hazel with their friends and Hazel's family too, set out to investigate the crime committed on the boat. I have really enjoyed the whole series, there are a couple of short stories collections. The author will be starting a new series with one of Hazel's sisters.

The last in the series...I don‘t want it to be over 🥲 Daisy and Hazel are in Egypt cruising along the Nile. Get ready for a mysterious society, murder and intrigue, danger is everywhere and only one makes it home alive 🥲
The author has a craft for creating complex characters and relationships.
We‘ve been with Hazel and Daisy from the beginning and now they are teenagers...a great series for middle graders and big kids like me 🤣

In today‘s #podcast host Caroline Crampton talks with Robin Stevens about her final book in the ‘Murder Most Unladylike‘ series and how she retraced Christie‘s journey on the Nile to create it. #NFN2020

LeahBergen Oh, is it the last book in that series?? 3y
veritysalter @LeahBergen yes, she says as she allowed the girls to age throughout the series, they have become young women now, not able to hide under tables and eavesdrop, so it seemed this was the time to finish. 3y
emmaturi I really enjoy this series, have read the first four! 3y

The 9th and final book in Robin Stevens‘s MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE SERIES for children aged 9+ is a suitable send-off to the Wong and Wells detective duo. We know from the start that one girl won‘t survive but their friendship remains front and centre even as they both get some romance and Hazel resolves her relationship with her father and sisters. I‘ll miss this series but am looking forward to new adventures with Hazel‘s sister May.

So. Not the strongest book in the series, but I did love the concept of the Death on the Nile homage even if I didn‘t like the resolution (which I could see coming a mile off). A shame but it doesn‘t make the series any less fun.
