In bustling Hong Kong, young detectives Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells face their toughest case yet. After Hazel's grandfather's death, a shocking murder occurs, and Hazel is framed.

From the publisher

Hazel and Daisy find themselves embroiled in a mystery while in Hong Kong–and one of them winds up on the suspect list–in this gripping sixth novel of the Murder Most Unladylike Mystery series. When Hazel Wong’s beloved grandfather passes away, Daisy Wells accompanies her best friend (and detective society vice president) to Hazel’s family estate in beautiful, bustling Hong Kong. But when they arrive, they discover something they didn’t expect: a new baby brother for Hazel! Hazel and Daisy think a surprise sibling is enough to be getting on with, but where they go, mystery follows. Baby Teddy’s nanny is killed, and this time Hazel isn’t just the detective on the case. She’s been framed for murder! The girls must work together to confront dangerous gangs, mysterious suspects, and sinister private detectives to solve the murder and clear Hazel’s name before it’s too late.
