The Case of the Blue Violet: A Murder Most Unladylike Mini Mystery

Product Information

Not only are you making this the the last mmu of the series you are also killing one of the detective society!!! Nooooooooooo!!! But then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym. She thinks it must all have been a terrible accident – but when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared. Now the girls know a murder must have taken place . . . and there’s more than one person at Deepdean with a motive. I have read some of the comments and I think that maybe Daisy will die: after all, Hazel writes the books as she is Secretary, but maybe it could be unexpected and Hazel dies so Daisy finishes the book off. WOW!! That colour us absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait for the title to be revealed! The funny thing is that my birthday is a week after the title reveal! It will be like an early birthday present!EEEEEEEKKKKK!!!!!!! I, the Honourable Daisy Wells , have decided to give an account of another mystery the Detective Society has faced in recent weeks. It was very exciting, and very heroic, and I was very brilliant and brave . . .

I am the Honourable Daisy Wells, President of the Detective Society, one of the greatest detectives ever known - and also a fourth former at Deepdean School for Girls. I already knew about this because I was looking at audio books for Murder Most Unladylike on my tablet and I saw ‘Once Upon a Crime ‘ there, and it said it was coming out in 2021! Oh noooo is daisy or hazel gonna die! I thought the series would continue at least to a tenth book! So sad it has to end here. Hope hazel is saved! A pity that this is not being published in book form too as not everyone has access to e readers.Maybe in the future…..?Though I think perhaps maybe one of them will sacrifice herself for the other to leave(Daisy, probably), like a hostage, but I can’t think of the ending at all.

Short and sweet. Some reviewers are bandying about the word 'novella,' but I am sure this does not qualify. It is 100% short story and can be read in a single sitting before you finish your drink. Yay! I can not wait to read Blue Violet and Deepdean Vampire, and I am very intrigued by the activity book- what will be included? It’s a very good idea to write about Hazel’s home, after all, it’s only fair because in Arsenic for Tea, it’s set at Fallingford(Daisy’s home). It’s important to say that this cover is not finished! It’s just a holding image – Daisy and Hazel won’t look quite like this on the final cover, and there will be lots more lovely details – you’re going to have to wait a few months more for the complete cover, which is being designed by my wonderful illustrator Nina Tara, as always. We’ll be revealing BOTH the cover and the title later this spring … so start thinking about what Book 8’s title might be now … All the comments are about one of them dying?although I feel like one of them will sacrifice herself for the other. But the junior Pinkertons will be there, but I’m not sure if one of them will have to sacrifice as a hostage or something, because only if one of the girls do it it’s more meaningful. Amina dying won’t be that impactful on the story as well. My friends and I have ‘A Spoonful of Murder’ as our number 1 out of the series because we all love Hazel, but we are wondering if this one will take its spot!

Select a format:

I was really hoping the book would be coral! I’m sure it will look simply lovely. I spent a good while brainstorming some ideas of book titles, though there wasn’t enough to go on! You can’t make one of the detectives die! It’s just like how Poirot died but he was old. If you have to have one die though, can you please spare Hazel? I really like Daisy but Hazel is still my really favorite one.

Oooh! That cover is fantastic… but I know I won’t be able to wait until Christmas to read it if it comes out in October! I’m so glad you like them! You’ll have to wait and see what happens in MMU9 … it’s very emotional, that’s for sure! And if you have any name suggestions, get them in now! Okay, this may have nothing to do with what everyone is saying but is George and/or Alexander involved in book 8? George is my favourite character along with Beanie, Hazel and Daisy I love your books and I’m your biggest fan but why are you letting one die? I am literally crying as I write this so when I read the ending of the book I will have my tissue ready.

Retailers:

Earlier today, someone went into the star dressing room and STOLE Radzi’s wrestling outfit – a terrible and upsetting crime! Poor old Razdi. It says that I’ve posted this twice, which I haven’t – so I’m just adding this on the end so that it’s different. (pay no notice to this bit) I AM A GREAT FAN OF YOUR BOOKS, I HAVE READ ALL OF YOUR BOOKS EXCEPT THE CASE OF THE BLUE VIOLET, PLEASE CAN YOU WRITE A NEW BOOK, HAZEL IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER SO PLEASE GIVE HER A MAJOR ROLE

A sequel, Arsenic For Tea, was published seven months after Murder Most Unladylike. Since the first Murder Most Unladylike book, there have been ten subsequent books, along with four extra mini-books. In 2022, a new series, The Ministry of Unladylike Affairs was released, featuring characters related to those in the Murder Most Unladylike series.

P.S It is probably Daisy because if she dies she would want to die in the most drematic way possible. I LOVE the cover and title, it looks wonderful. I think it is my favourite cover yet! When I start to read Top Marks for Murder I will be 5000 miles flying in the air to Croatia, so it two very exciting things will be happening at once. I also can’t wait to go to your book signing in Eason in Dublin and get all my Murder most unladylike books signed!
