Arsenic for Tea included in the New Statesman’s Easter round-up 2015

Amanda Craig has chosen Arsenic for Tea as part of her round-up in the New Statesman of the best books for children this Easter. She says:

‘Robin Stevens’s Wells and Wong detective novels take our heroines from boarding school to Daisy Wells’s posh home, where her mother is falling for a crooked art dealer. When he is poisoned, there is a limited cast of suspects and a murder for the girls to solve. Stevens satirises the upper classes and the English amusingly but it’s her Hong Kong-Chinese narrator Hazel Wong who makes this a feast for readers between nine and 12.’
