I like how the junior pinkertons help the detective society with solving a murder
It’s good
Very good book, favourite character was Hazel. Thrilling action book with hints of romance in it. Leading to a surprising ending.
EXCITING
I liked how the two societies were kind of working together but at the same time they weren't. They were kind of a team, but secretly Daisy and George and maybe even Alexander were all thinking: we're not working together. Ultimately, I would recommend it but I've reread it lots of times so it gets a bit boring.
Easy to read - a good 'smaller' book to get children interested in the series.
I was not to excited to go bed and start reading it at the beginning but it got better and better. I also don’t really understand the tittle
I really liked it because you have to try and figure out murders with the other detectives.
The story is fiction, The best person is Daisy because she like to make the questions.
YES my friend Gemma.
I think this book is amazing!
It was good i guess it was a good murder mystery.

Mysterious
This book was really good and it was really fun to try and solve the problem and who was murdered
I would recommend you only read this book when you have finished some of the other A Murder Most Unladylik ebooks as it includes characters without descriptions from this series. Its a short story format which i really enjoyed.
It was so good!! My favourite character is Daisy because she is always on top of things. the murder reveal was so much of an OMG moment. I would recommend it to anyone who is in to murder mystery.
Its about a suc sess ful swimmer who gets murdered and Hazel Daisy Alexander and george try to uncover the truth
It's a great story
I love the rest of the series and these didn’t disappoint
It’s not bad. Recommend
it is so mysterious
I thought this was a quite interesting case of detective work.
My favourite character was Daisy because she liked being the leader of everything.
I might recommend this to someone else only if the like murder books and detective books.
Interesting story with a twist. Overall a good book.
Well, I thought that the story would be about a real pearl that drowns.
My favourite character was Daisy because I liked how she figured most of the case out and she was clever.I would recommend it to my friends because it's interesting,funny and a marvellous mystery book.
Very good and very surprising.
A possibility that it may seem scary, but not for me. An entertaining book that I have used to keep me going in a caravan on the weekend .
My favourite character is Hazel
Hazel and Daisy go on holiday with their grandparents and go to the beach. They did not expect the hotel to be bad, it was dark and dull. They found a dead body on the beach and worked out how he died.
It was really good and my favourite character is Daisy because she's brave. There's a really unexpected twist at the end. I would definitely recommend it to someone else.
On holiday at the seaside Hazel and Daisy, the Detective Society, find a dead body on a the beach. They soon realise this dead body belongs to a famous swimmer called Antonia Braithwaite. Peculiarly,
the Detective Society must team up with the Junior Pinkertons to solve the murder and get back to their summer holiday. My favourite character is Hazel as sometimes in the book she is very amusing and she is very perceptive. I would recommend this book for children who are 9 and over as it’s a very delightful and exciting book to read!!
It is an amazing fiction book full of action and suspence. I really enjoyed it. I would recommened it to everyone.
