About this deal

Could this be the missing Ministry spy that Daisy Wells is on a dangerous mission in France to find? Or could it be someone else – someone a resident of the street wanted silenced . . . ? Since this is a very short novella the story is not as complicated as the normal stories. Although Stevens does what she does best and managed to surprise everyone, including our star detectives, with the eventual culprit. We have two POVs, Daisy and Hazel both get a say in this one. As I said about another book which also had Dual POV... I am a fan of Daisy as long as I don't have to read her POV. She is already a tad bit too egotistical for my liking and thinks she is the world and has quite a bit of critique on everyone. That is normally doable... but in a POV that just stands out so much and I was eagerly looking forward to each Hazel POV as I just love how sweet and kind Hazel is. The girl is a saint for being with a girl who both wants to protect her and wants to be better than her and isn't afraid to tell her this. Don't get me wrong, Daisy is amazing but she needs to learn to be a bit less I I I I and be a bit more acceptable about things.

I quite enjoyed this story though. The plot might have been simple, but if someone has never read a Daisy and Hazel story before they will get a great impression of what's waiting for them in the novels and how good those two girls actually are. And of course there is the mystery, another murder! These girls just attract it to them it seems. We also have the Pinkerton boys again and I loved that they were there as well. I was curious to see who would win this case and who would have the most information. Of course, rooting for my girls. I cannot help it. I love the boys, but nothing can beat the girls. The mystery was well written and I had fun trying to figure out the whodunnit and the whys. I have to say I had quite a few suspects but none of them were the right one. Darnit!Book Genre: Childrens, Crime, Fiction, Historical, Historical Fiction, Middle Grade, Murder Mystery, Mystery, Mystery Thriller, Thriller, Young Adult Of all the mysteries that Hazel and I have investigated, the Case of the Deepdean Vampire was one of the strangest. Discover the first three books in this amazing series: Murder Most Unladylike Arsenic for Tea First Class Murder and follow Daisy and Hazel's fantastic adventures. I, the Honourable Daisy Wells, have decided to give an account of another mystery the Detective Society has faced in recent weeks. While on a seaside holiday, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong (aka the Detective Society) among with friends (and rival detectives) George and Alexander discover the body of famous swimmer Antonia Braithwaite - aka The Pearl - on the beach. Everyone presumes she drowned by accident as she was training for the Olympics, but the Detective Society aren’t so sure. If she had drowned in the sea, why does she smell of soap and not seawater?

The Case of the Drowned Pearl by Robin Stevens | Goodreads

Daisy, Hazel, Alexander and George with Daisy’s uncle and aunty are in for a rainy summer holiday. Daisy’s aunty and uncle have some business to attend to whilst they are there which is top secret. So, they are to “mind there own business” and go and be perfectly English children on the Beach. On holiday at the seaside Hazel and Daisy, the Detective Society, find a dead body on a the beach. They soon realise this dead body belongs to a famous swimmer called Antonia Braithwaite. Peculiarly, Hello Detectives! There’s just ONE MONTH TO GO until the second book in my new series, The Body in the Blitz, is published!

My heart was beating fast. This felt very much like the beginning of an excellent murder investigation.’ My teeth were chattering and my bare legs were goosepimpled. This was not the beach holiday of my imagination. This was hardly a holiday at all. This was torture. (p. 21) Enter May, Eric and Nuala: courageous, smart, and the Ministry’s newest recruits. They have travelled to London for spy training, and are staying on a quiet street close to the Ministry, home to an unlikely collection of people thrown together by the war. Or will they sink under the pressure? Praise for the Murder Most Unladylike mysteries: 'This is that rare thing: a series that gets better with every book' Telegraph 'Thrilling' Guardian 'A total delight' Metro

I really enjoyed just setting aside a short amount of time to just sit down and read ‘The Case Of The Drowned Pearl’ in one go. It was a nice, short, easy read and it was great getting to see a murder investigated from a new angle, with the chapters alternating between Daisy and Hazel’s perspectives. I have a very special treat for you – an extract from the second chapter of the book. Nuala and May are on their way to London, to do important work for the Ministry … but what and who will they find when they get there? Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are best friends, schoolgirls – and detectives. And wherever Daisy and Hazel go, a mystery is sure to find them…
