Poison Is Not Polite

"Satisfyingly unpredictable. I did not guess the whodunit. Ripping good fun."--Alex O'Connell "The Times of London " "Really cleverly done and unexpected for what I thought would be a straightforward whodunit caper."--Melissa Cox, Head Children's Buyer at Waterstones "Robin Stevens's MURDER IS BAD MANNERS is what I wish every mystery could be: a perfectly-plotted puzzle told in a deft and charming voice. The story is a brilliant mixture of classic detective work and contemporary humor--I enjoyed every page!"--Jonathan Auxier, author of The Night Gardener and Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes PRISE FOR MURDER IS BAD MANNERS "A skillful blend of golden era crime novel and boarding school romp, with a winning central relationship between plump, anxious Hazel, a new girl who has arrived from Hong Kong, and the super-confident blonde English rose, Daisy Wells. The novel works well both as an affectionate satire and an effective mystery story. . . . Top class."--Suzie Feay "Financial Times " "Murder Is Bad Manners lured me in with a charming British voice, and then, just as I started to get cozy, snap! I was trapped in a serious mystery problem. Robin Stevens develops her girl detectives with a light, deft touch and delivers denouement with a flourish."--Nancy Springer, author of the Enola Holmes series "Reading Murder Is Bad Manners is like drinking cocoa by a fireside: It is warm and witty and deeply satisfying."--Katherine Rundell, author of ROOFTOPPERS and CARTWHEELING IN THUNDERSTORMS
