Bookroo's summary

Join Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong as they unravel six captivating mysteries. From a scream on the high seas to a wedding crasher, and a school hound to a holiday murder, each case tests their detective skills. Will they outsmart rivals and solve the Case of the Missing Treasure? Dive into these thrilling adventures and discover the secrets within.

From the publisher

Take one last dive into the pages of Hazel’s casebook and solve six new mini mysteries in this “smashing” (Booklist) short story collection companion to the internationally bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series! Between solving high-profile murder mysteries, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong tackle many other cases, like the Case of the Second Scream on the high seas and the Case of the Uninvited Guest at Uncle Felix and Aunt Lucy’s wedding. They compete with the Junior Pinkertons to solve the Hound of Weston School and humor Hazel’s tagalong little sister in the Case of the Deadly Flat. They even put their code-cracking skills to the test to catch a thief in the Case of the Missing Treasure and find their holiday interrupted by murder in the Case of the Drowned Pearl. These riveting new mini mysteries are perfect for fans and budding members of the Detective Society.
