K's opinion:
It's no secret that O and I love this series and it's also incredibly popular in school and we're always thrilled when a new book is published, and Top Marks For Murder is no exception. Full of twists and turns, the plot will keep you on your toes and will keep you guessing - after such a brilliant ending to Death in the Spotlight, I was uncertain as to how Robin would pull off the surprise in this book but I should have known not to worry ... she did it again so brilliantly.
It was great to see the characters maturing and 'blossoming into young ladies' whilst still maintaining their characters. I love Daisy's feisty attitude but it was also good to see layers in her personality.
Where will the pair end up next? Were there hints towards the end of this book? Robin Stevens is most definitely a modern day Agatha Christie.
O's opinion:
WOW!!! This book is absolutely AMAZING!!! When it came through the letterbox I could hear mum shriek with excitement! I have always loved the characteristics of the detecting duo: from Daisy always taking the lead to Hazel taking the clues and ruling out suspects: however they do it, they will always find the culprit. I also loved how much Kitty, Beanie and Lavinia have changed since we last met them at Deapdean. I can't wait to see the next instalment, and neither can the rest of the world!
I am lost for words to describe how good this book is, but one thing is certain: keep writing, Robin!!!
Many thanks to Penguin Random House for our ARC.
