And one of my favourite authors for this is Robin Stevens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if you&#8217;ve got a budding detective at home who loves nothing more than a whodunnit, I&#8217;ve put together some of the best Robin Stevens books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have all nine of Daisy and Hazel&#8217;s cases, and you&#8217;ll find them on our <a href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/books-for-11-year-olds\/mystery\/\">mystery books for 11 year olds<\/a> shelf. My five are First Class Murder, Arsenic for Tea, Mistletoe and Murder, Jolly Foul Play and A Spoonful of Murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also have Cream Buns and Crime, and The Ministry of Unladylike Activity, which stars Hazel&#8217;s little sister May. Those two are near the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Robin Stevens book should they read first?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Murder Most Unladylike.<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/murder-most-unladylike\/\" aria-label=\"View Murder Most Unladylike in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787638656_6a8d33807e5a4-195x300.jpg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787638656_6a8d33807e5a4-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1787638656_6a8d33807e5a4.jpg 339w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">Murder Most Unladylike<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Robin Stevens<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 11<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hazel Wong has come all the way from Hong Kong to Deepdean School for Girls. She and her best friend Daisy Wells run a secret Detective Society, and so far their cases have been things like who pinched a classmate&#8217;s tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then one evening Hazel runs back to the Gym for her pullover and finds Miss Bell, who teaches them Science, on the floor under the balcony. Dead. By the time she&#8217;s dragged a prefect back to see, there&#8217;s nothing there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything starts here. Daisy is Sherlock Holmes, Hazel is Watson, and Hazel writes it all up in her casebook. Every book in the series is told that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have to read the Robin Stevens books in order?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, if you can. The cases follow on from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Spoonful of Murder takes Hazel home to Hong Kong after her grandfather dies, and in Death in the Spotlight the girls have just come back from that trip. Death Sets Sail tells you on its first page that it&#8217;s the last case the Detective Society will ever solve together. That lands much harder if you&#8217;ve read the other eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cream Buns and Crime is the one that sits outside the order. It&#8217;s short mysteries and Daisy&#8217;s rules for setting up your own Detective Society, and it includes the case where it all started, the vanished tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The best Robin Stevens books, my five<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Class Murder<\/h3>\n\n\n<a class=\"lr-bookpill\" href=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/our-library\/murder-most-unladylike-3-first-class-murder\/\" aria-label=\"View Murder Most Unladylike 3 &#8211; First Class Murder in the library\"><div class=\"lr-bookpill__cover\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"195\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1714746031_6634f2af85280-195x300.jpg\" class=\"lr-bookpill__cover-img\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1714746031_6634f2af85280-195x300.jpg 195w, https:\/\/readingmate.co.uk\/littlereads\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1714746031_6634f2af85280.jpg 651w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"lr-bookpill__body\"><p class=\"lr-bookpill__title\">Murder Most Unladylike 3 &#8211; First Class Murder<\/p><div class=\"lr-bookpill__meta\"><span>Robin Stevens<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Age 11<\/span><span class=\"lr-bookpill__meta-dot\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span>Mystery<\/span><\/div><\/div><span class=\"lr-bookpill__chev\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rsaquo;<\/span><\/a>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hazel&#8217;s father has come all the way from Hong Kong to take the girls across Europe on the Orient Express.

There&#8217;s a rude businessman and his new wife with her diamond and ruby necklace, a countess, a medium who claims to speak to the dead and a stage magician.

Hazel won&#8217;t admit it, but May knows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So May pinches a note from Hazel&#8217;s handbag, runs away from school and finds her way to a red door in London.
