![]() ![]() The big change in this book from the others, is that although we are still seeing the action through Hazel’s eyes, for once it is Daisy who is the fish-out-of-water and Hazel is on her home turf. Or at least not in the way that I scared myself with Miss Marple books when I was about 10 any way. ![]() The stories are getting more mature as we go through the series – not unlike the Harry Potter books did – so the murder is a little bit more gruesome, the girls see a little bit more and are in a bit more danger, but there’s nothing here that should give a middle grader nightmares. As always with this series, the mystery is clever, the action is fast-paced and you just keep turning the pages. And she needs the support when she gets home and discovers that more has changed than just the death of her beloved Ah Yeh. Hazel heads back home to Hong Kong, accompanied by Daisy for moral support. The only surprise here is that I managed to pace myself and take two and a half weeks to read this, rather than glomming it on the day it came out, which is what I usually do and what nearly happened.Īnyway, this is the sixth instalment in the Wells and Wong series and sees Hazel sent for by her father after the death of her grandfather. ![]() This week’s BotW is the latest Wells and Wong mystery, A Spoonful of Murder, which makes three mystery books in a row, but I don’t see a problem with that. ![]()
