It doesn’t matter how old you are to enjoy these books. I’ve said before that people underestimate the power that middle grade and young adult books can have on you as an adult, and if I was to provide any evidence for that, this series would be one of the first to spring to mind. I love the Murder Most Unladylike stories as they make you want to run around using phrases like “jolly gosh” just for your own personal amusement, but it goes deeper than that. One of the things Robin Stevens really excels at is creating an atmosphere that you get completely absorbed by. I’m going to read them all again in 2022 and review them as I go, but I jumped at the chance to read a Christmas special where there would be mince pies and real Christmas trees and… murder? As I mentioned, this brilliant series has the advantage of being able to read them individually as well as straight through.
