Attain The Case Of The Blue Violet (Murder Most Unladylike, #3.5) Rendered By Robin Stevens Conveyed As Booklet

little novella about something other than murder, Its onlypages, and doesn't take much time, Its not necessary to the story, but I think it adds a little something extra to Daisy and Hazel.
Very predictable short story. I guess Stevens wanted to try out a new narrative voice, but Wells isn't as engaging as Wong.
At least we weren't subjected to deciphering "handwriting" on lined paper this time round, Any reader with any experience reading whodunits will have figured out the whole "plot" by the time the car turns into the drive the first time.
A fun, very short case in this excellent series, It was great to see things from a different point of view as well, it did make me chuckle.
Id definitely recommend this if youre a fan of the series, Im not sure how well it would work if you havent read any of the full length books though.
This was cute. Nice short, light story no murders, A short, simple case that doesnt involve a murder, Equally interesting to read. It is always hard to rate a short inbetween series book, The writing of this one is as good as the main books but the new case had no twist for me so that decreased general perception and hence my rating.
Ten Second Synopsis:
Daisy and Hazel attempt to solve a mystery surrounding the love interest of one of the older Deepdean girls.


This novella can be knocked over in under half an hour if youre quick and is the perfect teaser for when you are inbetween the novels.
Theres no murder in this one, but instead a mystery relating to the love interest of an older girl at Deepdean.
I wont say much about the plot because, this being such a short story, I would give too much away, but the puzzle is just as satisfying to solve as the more complex ones found in the novels.
Keeneyed readers may have an inkling as to which way the wind is blowing here, but the brevity of the story means its loaded with fun and the pace is quick.
Id definitely recommend this as a perfect pick for when you need a brainbreak, or as a great taster for the series as a whole.
" Hazel ed io ci sorridemmo a vicenda, Stiamo davvero diventando delle detectives piuttosto brave, "
Attenzione ai dettagli sono fondamentali per risolvere il caso!! not bad but too short to have an actual opinion.
loved daisys pov. Cute. Taken from sitelinkThe Pewter Wolf as part of Murder Month

Daisy Wells, President of the Detective Society, writes this tale where one of the Big Girls in their school Deepdean School for Girls asked Daisy and VicePresident of the Detective Society, Hazel Wong, to help over a very puzzling romantic mystery.
Which should be easy Daisy and Hazel have solved three murders, after all, . .

I have to admit that this is quite short and is a filler for the series this takes place between the third and fourth books in the series, sitelinkFirst Class Murder and sitelinkJolly Foul Play.
So fans of the series will like this a lot as it's a quick teaser to fill the time between books.


What fans will like about this short is that, while the mystery is gentle and perfect for younger readers and after all the very adultheavy crime I have been reading this was hugely refreshing!, but this tale is told from Daisy's point of view, and her voice is hugely different from Hazel, who writes the novels.
She's much lighter compared to Hazel, less serious and is more impulsive, I can see what Robin Stevens wrote this short over mysterious love letters from Daisy's point of view, rather than Hazel's, who is more suited for the seriousness of murder.
Daisy's voice would be far too jarring,

This is probably a good taster for new fans who want to try and see if they like this series.
And this is very much a fan story,

However, if you are an older reader, you might find this far too light and fluffy.
But you might want to check out the series as this does tackle murder and the plots are fiendishly clever.
I have two to read and I can't wait to get start, This book was so short, I finished it inminutes flat! I really loved it and I solved the mystery first so I'm very happy with it.
I already have Jolly Foul Play checked out from the library now I can start it! It was also really great to hear from Daisy's point of view.
Wish we could have a full book with her as the narrator, It was so great to hear from Daisy's point of view! Only wish it was longer! I love this series soooooooo much, and this little mystery did not disappoint! Oh, I do love Daisy and it's so lovely to hear something from her point of view.
I solved the mystery, but it was so short it didn't really matter! It was fun reading a story from Daisys point of view.
Despite the fact that she is spoiled, thoughtless and quite full of herself, I am very fond of Daisy.
I love how dramatic and clever she is, She is a unique and interesting main character,
It was also nice to see Hazel having none of her nonsense, I love the Wells and Wong series so I wasn't surprised to fall in love with this too! It was really nice to hear from Daisy's POV.
I could read this series for ever and ever and not get bored, More please! Another delightful detective mystery from Daisy and Hazel, I love Daisy's matter of factness, . . and her embellishments. Short and sweet. Some reviewers are bandying about the word 'novella,' but I am sure this does not qualify.
It isshort story and can be read in a single sitting before you finish your drink.


I'm reading the

collection Cream Buns and Crime right now I don't know how else to acquire these individual stories but since this is listed separately, I'll review both the story, and then later the collection as a whole.


Stevens's Unladylike series is one of those wonderful treats for a reader, where you know if you enjoyed it before, you'll enjoy it still.
It's not going to ever take some unlikely swerve into L, A. gangland where the characters swear too much and you start feeling uncomfortable which is why it's remarkable I like the Harry Bosch series so much, despite everything, no, her stories are steeped in people being decent for the most part, passing the sugar dish, and solving the occasional mystery.


But, importantly, she isn't simply light and fluffy, She doesn't write mysteries with lots of pink on the cover, and food, and an animal, and a jokey title like "Pork Pie Pandemonium".
. . I can't stand them. For the most part, I mean, I'm not even going to try once I glimpse a cover like that, so there could be exceptions.
They're likely too cosy, Not Stevens, she's just calm and comfortable and classic,

This being a short story, it's not quite as resonant as some of her longer work, but it's a sweet story fleshing out the career of my two favourite detectives, and a lovely thing to read before bedtime last night.


Note: I'm a writer myself, so suffer pangs of guilt every time I offer less than five.
These aren't ratings of quality, just my subjective account of how much I liked them:one of my alltime favourites,enjoyed it,readable but not thrilling,disappointing, andhated it.
