The Case of the Missing TreasureA Murder most Unladylike mini MysteryBy Robin StevensI love the Murder Most Unladylike Mystery Series。 The case of the missing treasure is a short story set in 1936 London。 There has been lots of burglaries in lots of London museums。 Where will the burglar strike next？It is Daisy’s 15 birthday and her uncle has set up a treasure hunt for her to do around London。 With her best friend Hazel and their friends and rival detective society the Junior Pinkertons。 The tre The Case of the Missing TreasureA Murder most Unladylike mini MysteryBy Robin StevensI love the Murder Most Unladylike Mystery Series。 The case of the missing treasure is a short story set in 1936 London。 There has been lots of burglaries in lots of London museums。 Where will the burglar strike next？It is Daisy’s 15 birthday and her uncle has set up a treasure hunt for her to do around London。 With her best friend Hazel and their friends and rival detective society the Junior Pinkertons。 The treasure hunt leads them to the British museum。 The case Daisy’s uncle has been trying to keep her from is just under their noses。 When they are looking for the next clue they find a scrap of paper。 Does it hold the key to all the burglaries that have been going on throughout London？ Can they stop them in the act？ Unlike the main books in the series， several of the short story’s are told from the perspective of Daisy。 Daisy only recognises a very select number of people as her equals and does not have much time for people who underestimate her or are less intelligent。 You can tell that it is Daisy who is narrating the story because it is written in a slightly more cocky and mater a fact way， which in makes it funnier in my opinion。I will give it a 10/10 because it is a great short read which is packed with adventure， defiance and suspense。 。。。more

This book was one of the many stories that Robin Stevens has written。 It 91 pages （of the actual book） there was the friendship and the teamwork element。 I think all her fans love seeing the junior Pinkertons and the frenemy relationship between the two societies。 The book had nail-biting suspense and a fantastic lead to the next book: Death in the Spotlight。 I also loved seeing uncle Felix and aunt Lucy as main characters in the book and I really liked the ending。 Overall， I recommend this book This book was one of the many stories that Robin Stevens has written。 It 91 pages （of the actual book） there was the friendship and the teamwork element。 I think all her fans love seeing the junior Pinkertons and the frenemy relationship between the two societies。 The book had nail-biting suspense and a fantastic lead to the next book: Death in the Spotlight。 I also loved seeing uncle Felix and aunt Lucy as main characters in the book and I really liked the ending。 Overall， I recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick but quirky and suspense book！ Enjoy！ 。。。more

Short story in the Wells/Wong partnership。 They're back from HK， in London， and investigating a string of museum thefts with the Junior Pinkertons。 The use of Egyptian hieroglyphs was extremely dubious but the author herself acknowledges this so I'm giving her a pass on it。 Short story in the Wells/Wong partnership。 They're back from HK， in London， and investigating a string of museum thefts with the Junior Pinkertons。 The use of Egyptian hieroglyphs was extremely dubious but the author herself acknowledges this so I'm giving her a pass on it。 。。。more

I really enjoy these little 'Murder Most Unladylike' mysteries， they're easygoing， fun and still full of twists and turns。 This read isn't a full size book， it is more of a novella but it is a very enjoyable little afternoon tea sort of read。 The mystery was fun and simple yet not simple enough that you can guess it straight away， and the characters are very relatable and entertaining。 This story is great for any age even though its aimed at a younger audience and I read this outside of the seri I really enjoy these little 'Murder Most Unladylike' mysteries， they're easygoing， fun and still full of twists and turns。 This read isn't a full size book， it is more of a novella but it is a very enjoyable little afternoon tea sort of read。 The mystery was fun and simple yet not simple enough that you can guess it straight away， and the characters are very relatable and entertaining。 This story is great for any age even though its aimed at a younger audience and I read this outside of the series order， although there are mentions of other mysteries， it doesn't go into detail and nothing got spoiled for me so it is brilliant for an anytime read。 。。。more

The Detective Agency （and the Junior Pinkerton） plus Ancient Egypt？ Love it。 The only way this could be better is if it was a full-length novel！

This was the first book I had read by Robin Stevens。 I read this book as looking for detective stories for my 9 year old grand daughter。 It is well written and I liked the characters though some parts are a little too unbelievable。 I also felt it is a shame that it is set in a world， both time and experience wise， far removed from modern girls lives。 I would suggest that this series suits reading in the order it was written rather than dipping into it as I did， there is a lot of reference to pas This was the first book I had read by Robin Stevens。 I read this book as looking for detective stories for my 9 year old grand daughter。 It is well written and I liked the characters though some parts are a little too unbelievable。 I also felt it is a shame that it is set in a world， both time and experience wise， far removed from modern girls lives。 I would suggest that this series suits reading in the order it was written rather than dipping into it as I did， there is a lot of reference to past and future experiences， and assumptions about the readers knowledge of the main characters。 Having said all this I will try reading her first book as there is a lot of positives。。。。 。。。more

A lovely short mystery that is fun for children。 Even as a child I would have found Hazel infuriating。 She is such an arrogant character that I don't find very endearing。 I enjoyed this because it was short A lovely short mystery that is fun for children。 Even as a child I would have found Hazel infuriating。 She is such an arrogant character that I don't find very endearing。 I enjoyed this because it was short 。。。more

We got about halfway before Miss 6 decided that the characters were boring and decided to swap books。Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library， sometimes around particular topics or themes。 We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors。 We got about halfway before Miss 6 decided that the characters were boring and decided to swap books。Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library， sometimes around particular topics or themes。 We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors。 。。。more

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Case of the Missing Treasure is a mini-mystery， narrated by Daisy about the Detective Society and the Junior Pinkertons solving the mystery of a series of break-ins in London Museums。 It was nice to see both societies working together， as previously， they have been up against one another （Detective Society is still the best though！）。There was something about the narrative style that made this book funny to read。 Such as when Daisy thinks about her and Hazel’s future Detective So Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The Case of the Missing Treasure is a mini-mystery， narrated by Daisy about the Detective Society and the Junior Pinkertons solving the mystery of a series of break-ins in London Museums。 It was nice to see both societies working together， as previously， they have been up against one another （Detective Society is still the best though！）。There was something about the narrative style that made this book funny to read。 Such as when Daisy thinks about her and Hazel’s future Detective Society headquarters， and her internal narrative as she’s narrating。 It was nice to read a book narrated by Daisy， as we always see her from Hazel’s perspective， so it was nice to see what goes on in Daisy’s head。The actual mystery itself was a different case to what the Detective Society usually solve （there was no murder）， but it was still a really enjoyable and quick read （I read it in under half an hour！）。 It was very different as there was no suspect list， or witness interviews this mystery was solved with amazing detecting skills and both societies not being afraid to put themselves in danger to bring justice。Although I have commented before that in mini-mysteries， I miss the build-up to a big denouement， I feel that this book still had a big finish， as the mystery was prominent all the way through， and thr detectives’ actions built up lots of tension in the mystery。Overall， I really enjoyed this book。 I loved how Daisy narrated this mystery， she seems to be a lot funnier as a person than I realised。 It is also really nice how this book directly leads onto Death in the Spotlight – it’s always ironic how Daisy and Hazel are always sent to places to keep them away from murder and trouble but it never quite works out！ 。。。more

This book was SUPER！ Another spectacular murder most unladylike （ mini） book 。 It was a bit easier to solve （ I actually solved it） 。 It didn’t introduce the characters and you just hat to think of someone who could have done it （ a guard for example） 。 I actually thought that was clever because it was more realistic。 Great book 📖。

2。5This is more like a 3。0 for the mini-mystery itself （which is as non-complex and straightforward as you could expect）。 However: the book is 150 pages， but the story itself only takes 92 of them。 The rest are clear fillers: a glossary of words， Egyptian alphabet， and an extract of a follow-up novel that takes more than 3o pages。 I didn't appreciate that。 I was intrigued enough to buy the first of the long stories in the series though， see what the young detectives have to offer given proper sp 2。5This is more like a 3。0 for the mini-mystery itself （which is as non-complex and straightforward as you could expect）。 However: the book is 150 pages， but the story itself only takes 92 of them。 The rest are clear fillers: a glossary of words， Egyptian alphabet， and an extract of a follow-up novel that takes more than 3o pages。 I didn't appreciate that。 I was intrigued enough to buy the first of the long stories in the series though， see what the young detectives have to offer given proper space。 。。。more
