School Library Connection has reviewed Murder is Bad Manners! They say:

‘Set in England in 1934, this book takes readers on a delightful romp through the halls of a girls’ boarding school. Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, age 13, have established the Wells & Wong Detective Agency and are looking for a case to solve when Hazel comes upon the body of their science teacher . . . Stevens deftly uses familiar stereotypes to create individuals who are engaging and likeable. Beneath the mystery and adventure, the author explores themes of friendship, independence, and personal identity that concern pre-adolescent girls. This book, the first in a series, is a “jolly good read” . . . Recommended’ –  Marney Welmers, Educational Reviewer, Marana USD, Tucson, Arizona
