For some reason, even though I follow her on Amazon, I had no clue that Robin Stevens had written more books in her Murder Most Unladylike series. Anywho, here is the seventh novel, "Death in the Spotlight."
["Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are off to the beautiful Rue Theatre in London, where they will face an entirely new challenge: acting. But behind the theatre's glittering facade, the girls soon realise that there is trouble at the Rue. Jealousy, threats and horrible pranks quickly spiral out of control - and then one of the cast is found dead.
As opening night looms closer, Hazel and Daisy must take centre stage and solve the crime . . . before the murderer strikes again."]
I looooove these two. They are so fiercely protective of each other and so dedicated to their friendship (yes, Daisy messes up sometimes and puts detecting first, but she quickly rights herself). They would do absolutely anything for the other.
They are also sooo brave. They put themselves in situations that would frighten most ladies of today, let alone little girls (teens) of the 1930s, all in the name of detective work. They are smart, smarter than almost anyone gives them credit for. But they also know how to work their gender and age to get what they want (from moooost people).
And they are highly progressive (which I mean, DUH). Other books have talked about gender, societal standards, or race, but this one breached the topic of same sex relationships, but many of the characters (our two MCs included) are strong allies.
This one seemed a little info-dump-y, like by a loooot. Maybe its just the middle grade aspect.
