About the Author
Robin Stevens was born in California and grew up in Oxford, England, across the road from the house where Alice of Alice in Wonderland lived. Robin has been making up stories all her life. She spent her teenage years at boarding school, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she'd get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn't). She studied crime fiction in college and then worked in children's publishing. Robin now lives in England with her family.

Critical Reviews
"This is jolly good fun. Fans will be thrilled and encouraged to go on exploring the worlds of mystery reading--and solving."--Kirkus Reviews "March 1, 2024"
* "One part instruction manual, two parts mystery story, a dash of history, a smattering of recipes, and a lot of fun....It's all enormously entertaining, serving either as an engaging appendix to those already familiar with the girls' exploits or as a delightful introduction to the detecting duo and the concept of crime novels....A captivating compilation sure to make an instant investigator out of anyone."--Booklist, starred review
"Fans of Enola Holmes, Agatha Christie, and Stuart Gibbs will love this engaging text that is a blend of mystery fiction and gumshoe how-to."--School LIbrary Journal "4/1/2024"
