World Book Day 2024: Puffin Storymakers Show
I have something else to help you with your WBD celebrations this year: I’m part of Puffin’s free 2024 Storymakers Show with Ed Vere and Dr Sheila Kanani!
Hello! Welcome to my website. I write about murder and mystery, and I hope you enjoy it. Come in and find out more about me and the detectives in my books!
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are the stars of the Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries. Murder Most Unladylike (Murder is Bad Manners in the USA), Arsenic for Tea (Poison is Not Polite in the USA), First Class Murder, Jolly Foul Play, Mistletoe and Murder, the Cream Buns and Crime series companion, A Spoonful of Murder, Death in the Spotlight, Top Marks for Murder, Death Sets Sail and my book of Murder Most Unladylike short stories, Once Upon a Crime, are out now in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, India, Hong Kong and everywhere the Puffin editions are sold.
May Wong has returned with her new friends Eric and Nuala as the heroes of my newest series the Ministry of Unladylike Activity! Ministry is also out in German, and it will publish in Italian and Polish in 2024. And its sequel, The Body in the Blitz, is out now in the UK and Ireland!

It’s World Book Week 2024, and I know a lot of you are dressing up as my detectives! It’s very easy to do – really, all you need to do is spruce up your usual school uniform with a tie, a hat, a crest or badge, a notebook and a magnifying glass.
The US edition of Cream Buns and Crime will publish on April 23 from Simon Kids, and ahead of that we’ve had the most wonderful review from Kirkus, the most trusted book review body in the US.
Ten years after Murder Most Unladylike first published in the UK, it’s amazing to see that it’s still arriving in new territories – and the latest addition is one I’m particularly pleased about, Spanish! El Crimen es Cosa de Damas has just published from Editorial Alma, translated by Andrea Montero Cusset. It’s out now, available in all good bookstores and online, and the sequel is on the way soon!
