It has all the good qualities of a detective book, and I would recommend it for ages 9+ I immensely enjoyed this book, as it is funny in places, but also mysterious and gripping. However, as all good detectives know, they can't stop without revealing the truth, however hard it may be. The clues suddenly point to a relative close to Daisy, but she is desperate to not continue. Sometimes, they feel as if someone is close by, who knows exactly what they are doing. They begin an investigation, picking up motives and alibis for all the residents in the house. A guest at the house falls terribly ill, dangerously ill and Daisy and Harriet think the invalid has been poisoned. The big day arrives but the house falls into deep shock. Also, their governess, Miss Alston, is behaving weirdly and the twosome can't help but wondering what her secrets are. For a first, Uncle Felix isn't being jolly and Daisy and Harriet hear arguments about the supposed friend of Daisy's mother, Mr Curtis, which is breaking up the family.
