Jolly Foul Play: A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery (A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery, 4)

Product Information

Erzählt wird ja wieder aus der Sicht von Hazel, die Schriftführerin der Detektei, und man merkt wie sie auflebt, jetzt, da sie selbst mal im Mittelpunkt steht. Dabei erfährt man aber auch einiges über ihr Leben in Hongkong, das geprägt ist durch Reichtum und einen Vater, für den sie als erstes Kind immer der Nabel der Welt war. Dass es jetzt nicht mehr so ist trifft sie sehr hart - diese Geschwistereifersucht als Thema hat mich nicht so ganz erreichen können, da ich es mit Hazel nicht so sehr in Einklang bringen konnte. Es wurde aber glaubhaft dargestellt und hat die Handlung auch unterstützt. Il libro è diviso in 6 parti e composto da capitoli molto brevi e scorrevoli, che si leggono senza problemi.

And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery? And now, the credits. I might have been the only person giving the author talks, but I couldn’t possibly have got to my destinations, set up the rooms or sold the books without the help of an enormous team of people. They fed me, drove me, cheered me on and generally supported me, and I’m enormously grateful. So let’s hear it for … The relocation means that, for once, it's Daisy who's out of her depth and trying to figure out the ways of the world. It's deliciously done, without ever disempowering her, and can I tell you how difficult an act that is? To write and to never, ever, not even once, devalue nor disempower character? It's a rare, rare thing and one that is kind of beautiful and wonderful to read. It also speaks a lot about Stevens' trust in this series and her work. She doesn't mess this up, not once. Hazel is wonderful throughout, providing an introduction to her home city of Hong Kong and the intricacies of dim sum even as she's wrestling with the thought that she is, herself, a suspect.Two weeks. Five days. Ten schools. Ten train journeys. Three hotels. Five bookstores. And six bunbreaks (at a conservative estimate). The Jolly Foul Play schools tour was the most exciting, exhausting and amazing thing I’ve ever done as an author. My chaperones from my publisher, Harriet, Nat, Sophia and Annie. Authors on tour need people to tell them where to go and what to do, and also to write names on post-it notes so when they’re signing the hundredth copy of their book, they spell the person’s name right. Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are taking a holiday on the world-famous Orient Express - and it's clear that each of their fellow first-class passengers has something to hide.

I loved getting to meet all of Hazel's family. I also liked how things got turned about with Hazel and Daisy's detecting, as Hazel was the one familiar with the area, and could speak the language. Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play?

One of the things I love about my job is that I get to push good books at people. Not, I hasten to add, literally. I do not stand on street corners pushing books. I talk to people in my libraries and I share with them the books that are just classy and good and brilliant things. Stevens is at the top of her game here, because she takes risks and makes them work in a quite wonderful fashion. This isn't the same old same old framework, resting on its laurels. Hazel and Daisy are in Hong Kong and there's a murder and a kidnap to solve. Elizabeth Hurst, la terrible préfète-en-chef, est retrouvée morte en plein feu d’artifice… Très vite, Hazel et Daisy se rendent compte que tout le monde a un mobile : Elizabeth utilisait les secrets des élèves pour les faire chanter. Toutes la détestaient, même ses plus proches amies… et toutes sont suspectes. Anche se non sempre le ha fatto piacere, si nota che il suo atteggiamento sta migliorando sempre più, ed è capace di stare al fianco di Hazel, quando ce n'è bisogno, mettendo (quasi) da parte il suo orgoglio. Ich muss sagen, dass ich diese Krimireihen mit jungen Mädels als "Detektivinnen" mittlerweile echt sehr mag und gerade Daisy Wells und Hazel Wong haben auf eine besondere Weise mein Herz erobert. Eigentlich fast ein bisschen spröde, jede auf ihre Art, aber trotzdem ein unglaublich tolles Duo bei all ihren Ermittlungen, die sich perfekt ergänzen.
