Książka „Zabrodnia na receptę” jest równie wspaniała, co inne tomy z serii „Zbrodnia niezbyt elegancka” (przynajmniej te, które czytałam). Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong try to solve a murder of the Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, on Bonfire Night. Könnte der Mord mit den vielen verratenen Geheimnissen zusammenhängen, die auf kleinen Zetteln in der Schule die Runde machen?

Stevens switches the usual roles here, making Daisy the ‘foreigner’, and one ‘overlooked’, to her great irritation, while poor Hazel has to deal with quite a lot. Dabei erfährt man aber auch einiges über ihr Leben in Hongkong, das geprägt ist durch Reichtum und einen Vater, für den sie als erstes Kind immer der Nabel der Welt war. Murder Most Unladylikewas the bestselling middle-grade debut of 2014, winning the Waterstones Children's Book Prize for Younger Fiction and sparking a trend for middle-grade mysteries.

I thought that one of the other of the Five (spoiler of who it ISN'T ahead, not Margaret though she would not be a good murderer) would have been a much better criminal than who it really was.

It's deliciously done, without ever disempowering her, and can I tell you how difficult an act that is? Daisy’s glamorous mother is throwing a tea party for Daisy’s birthday, and Daisy’s eccentric family are all invited. Daisy and Hazel think baby Teddy is enough to deal with, but as always the girls are never far from a mystery. I really like this series and in this one we get to know Hazel much better as she grows in confidence.

Loved the descriptions of food, dress and customs in 1930s Hong Kong, as well as the role reversal between Hazel and Daisy, which allows for some real character development for both of them. Dieser Band war ein kleines bisschen schwächer als die vorhergehenden finde ich, dabei waren die Voraussetzungen sehr spannend, denn dieses Mal ging es für die beiden nach Hongkong. It’s dreadful, because the Five were supposed to be her best friends – but now that Elizabeth is dead, none of them are acting as though they are sad about it at all.But when they arrive they discover something they didn't expect: there's a new member of the Wong family. in ihrem Schatten zu sehen, ist eine völlig neue Erfahrung: für Hazel, für Daisy und auch für mich als Leser.

Elizabeth Hurst, la terrible préfète-en-chef, est retrouvée morte en plein feu d’artifice… Très vite, Hazel et Daisy se rendent compte que tout le monde a un mobile : Elizabeth utilisait les secrets des élèves pour les faire chanter. Ammiro la capacità della scrittrice di unire vari elementi molto importanti in una serie per ragazzi: il crimine, discorsi femministi, e tanta, tanta ricerca (la serie è ambientata negli anni Trenta del Novecento). Below are a selection of my favourite pictures from the events – there are almost too many to share! Ogromnie polecam tą książkę wszystkim, którzy lubią kryminały, ale także tym ,którzy dopiero zaczynaja swoją przygodę z książkami kryminalnymi.
