This one was good! It took me quite a long time to read because it wasn't one of my most important books, so I will may forgotten parts of the story...

This book is the sixth book in the Murder Most Unladylike series, but it was not the best. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, I just didn't find it as interesting as some of the others. As of now, my ranking would go;

Jolly Foul Play
Arsenic For Tea
Mistletoe and Murder
Spoonful of Murder
Murder Most Unladylike
First Class Murder

I found the setting very interesting and enjoyed how being in Hong Kong meant Hazel had to take authority over the situations. It did bring out some more of Daisy's not so nice qualities, such as wanting to be in charge and the centre of attention. I know this is an important part of her character, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. It just makes her irritating, especially in a book where her involvement wasn't as notable.

Anyway, I did enjoy this book. I am a bit old for these books so I don't think I will be reading more of these books, but I will still hold Hazel and Daisy in my heart.
