Bookzone review of Arsenic for Tea

January 17, 2015

There are now less than two weeks to go until Arsenic for Tea is released in the UK, and it’s just been given its first blogger review!

Darren from The Book Zone for Boys says:

‘Not only is [Arsenic for Tea] a great sequel, but it is also a book that is even better then its predecessor . . .

the stage for this brilliant murder mystery story is Fallingford, a country mansion with obligatory sprawling grounds, and the cast a group of people with a plethora of eccentricities and foibles, most of whom just happen to be members of Daisy’s family. For Fallingford is the Wells family home, and Daisy and Hazel are there for the holidays. This makes for the perfect setting for our story . . .

Arsenic For Tea can be read as a standalone mystery but I would implore you to start with Murder Most Unladylike if for some unfathomable reason you or your children have not yet stumbled across the Wells and Wong Mysteries’

Read the whole review here – and thank you, Darren!
