Also travelling on the SS Hatshepsut is a mysterious society called the Breath of Life: a group of genteel English ladies and gentlemen, who believe themselves to be reincarnations of the ancient pharaohs. Three days into the cruise their leader, Theodora Miller, is found dead in her cabin, stabbed during the night. It soon becomes clear to Daisy and Hazel that Theodora’s timid daughter Hephzibah, who is prone to sleepwalking, is being framed. And within the society, everyone has a reason to want Theodora dead…

Daisy and Hazel leap into action and begin to investigate their most difficult case yet. But there is danger all around, and only one of the Detective Society will make it home alive…Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are in Egypt, where they are taking a cruise along the Nile.

Review:

This would have to be one of the best ends to an ongoing series that I have read in a while.

From the blessed nod to Agatha Christie, to the setting of Egypt, to the delightful characters, Daisy and Hazel, this book in enjoyable from the opening page. This mystery series is perfect for any age group and will have you feeling like a detective, trying to solve the mystery.

Daisy and Hazel are two brilliant characters. They have flaws in which they embrace and acknowledge and work together to ensure their flaws don’t hold them back. I love their friendship two, they are definitely close and have that strong family love for each other. I love this – girls need to read this! Girls need to be building their friendships like this, instead of being snarky all the time.

I love this series, I loved this book! I might just have to do a complete reread!! Which means I’ll just have to go out and but the whole series with matching covers!!
