Bookroo's summary

Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are on the Orient Express when a passenger is murdered and her ruby necklace vanishes. With a train full of suspicious characters and rumors of a spy, the young detectives must unravel the mystery before the killer escapes or strikes again. But they're not the only ones on the case. Can the Wells & Wong Detective Society outsmart their competition and catch the culprit in time?

From the publisher

A murdered heiress, a missing necklace, and a train full of shifty, unusual, and suspicious characters leaves Daisy and Hazel with a new mystery to solve in this third novel of the Wells & Wong Mystery series. Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells are taking a vacation across Europe on world-famous passenger train, the Orient Express–and it’s clear that each of their fellow first-class travelers has something to hide. Even more intriguing: There’s rumor of a spy in their midst. Then, during dinner, a bloodcurdling scream comes from inside one of the cabins. When the door is broken down, a passenger is found murdered–her stunning ruby necklace gone. But the killer has vanished, as if into thin air. The Wells & Wong Detective Society is ready to crack the case–but this time, they’ve got competition.
