One of our Books of the Year 2015  The third in the hugely popular Wells and Wong series our two young heroines on - wait for it - the Orient Express! They're on holiday with Hazel's father Mr Wong whi is determined his daughter will give up detecting. Some hope! The story is set in 1934 just a year after Agatha Christie's classic was published. Daisy has already read it and when one of their fellow passengers is murdered - in a carriage apparently locked from the inside - the girls are in their element. There's a cast of colourful characters and red herrings galore, and as always Robin Stevens has created a proper mystery for the girls and her readers to solve. As always too the period detail adds to the appeal - food, clothes, attitudes of the time, all are described vividly. Hitler too casts a shadow over the action. Thrilling stuff that thoroughly respects its readers' intelligence, this is one of the best series around.  ~ Andrea Reece
