This was a very enjoyable read as part of family book club. My initial impressions were happily dissuaded as the book went along and the characters became more fleshed out. My daughter is a huge fan of this series of books and I now know why.
e: I cant believe I called daisy insufferable I adore her now - but yes she is insufferable too

Daisy is insufferable. I mean, on paper the concept of a narcissistic arrogant little detective girl sounds great but she has no likable qualities at all. I felt sorry for poor Hazel throughout the book!
It's a minor part but I liked how casually there were lesbian relationships in the book. One of the reasons I picked it up in the first place is because I saw reviews complaining about that - Anyone who is so bothered by the inclusion of minor lesbian/bi women in a book for children should take a good hard look at themselves.
This is the Middle Grade Monthly pick for June. I'm not a mystery fan, but thought I'd give it a shot.
I shouldn't have. I didn't like this one. I was bored. The writing is probably good, it just wasn't for me.
If you like mystery, give it a go. I personally need some kind of fantastical elements to keep me interested.
