Thank you for all of your guesses, Detectives. You’ve been very clever – lots of you guessed that MMU 9’s cover would be gold, and some of you even suggested gold and blue! If you guessed it, bravo! And even if you didn’t … I really hope you like it!
MMU 9 will be out from Puffin Books on the 6th August 2020 in the UK and Ireland – and you can pre-order it now! Here’s a little teaser of what the book will be about …
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are in Egypt, where they are taking a cruise along the Nile. They are hoping to see some ancient temples and a mummy or two; what they get, instead, is murder.
Also travelling on the SS Hatshepsut is a mysterious society called the Breath of Life: a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ancient pharaohs. Three days into the cruise their leader, Theodora Miller, is found dead in her cabin, stabbed during the night. It soon becomes clear to Daisy and Hazel that Theodora’s timid daughter Hephzibah, who is prone to sleepwalking, is being framed. And within the society, everyone has a reason to want Theodora dead…
Daisy and Hazel leap into action and begin to investigate their most difficult case yet. But there is danger all around, and only one of the Detective Society will make it home alive…
Nail-biting stuff! All will be revealed on the 6th of August …
