Katherine Rundell on the Murder Most Unladylike series 'Superb' -
Observer 'Absolutely thrilling' - Louie Stowell 1940. The world is
at war, and a secret arm of the British government called the
Ministry of Unladylike Activity is training up spies. Enter May
Wong: courageous, stubborn, and desperate to help end the war so
that she can go home to Hong Kong (and leave her annoying school,
Deepdean, behind forever). May knows that she would make the
perfect spy. After all, grown-ups always underestimate children
like her. When May and her friend Eric are turned away by the
Ministry, they take matters into their own hands. Masquerading as
evacuees, they travel to Elysium Hall, home to the wealthy Verey
family - including snobby, dramatic Nuala. They suspect that one of
the Vereys is passing information to Germany. If they can prove it,
the Ministry will have to take them on. But there are more secrets
at Elysium Hall than May or Eric could ever have imagined. And
then, someone is murdered . . . Join May, Eric and Nuala in the
first unputdownable book in a fast-paced, mysterious and
adventurous new series from million-copy-bestseller, Robin Stevens.
