Murder is Bad Manners

This book came out last year in the UK (under the title Murder Most Unladylike) but will soon be released in the US. I actually bought a copy when I was in London in November but haven't had time to read it yet.
Deepdean School for Girls, 1934. When Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong set up their very own deadly secret detective agency, they struggle to find any truly exciting mysteries to investigate. (Unless you count the case of Lavinia's missing tie. Which they don't, really.)
But then Hazel discovers the Science Mistress, Miss Bell, lying dead in the Gym. She thinks it must all have been a terrible accident - but when she and Daisy return five minutes later, the body has disappeared. Now the girls know a murder must have taken place . . . and there's more than one person at Deepdean with a motive.
Now Hazel and Daisy not only have a murder to solve: they have to prove a murder happened in the first place. Determined to get to the bottom of the crime before the killer strikes again (and before the police can get there first, naturally), Hazel and Daisy must hunt for evidence, spy on their suspects and use all the cunning, scheming and intuition they can muster. But will they succeed? And can their friendship stand the test?

If this is anything like Nancy Drew, I think I'd love it :)

This sounds like a fun read. But I simply love the title. Murder IS bad manners really. :) It sounds like something I'd pick up - so i will.

Don't you love how they change the titles for Americans like we can't figure out what "Most Unladylike" means! -_- Haha! I hope you enjoy this one!!
