Daisy and Hazel think baby Teddy is enough to deal with, but the girls are never far from a mystery – and when tragedy strikes, this time Hazel isn't just the detective. She's been framed for murder.

The Detective Society must work together like never before, confronting dangerous gangs, mysterious suspects and sinister private detectives to clear Hazel's name - before it's too late . . .

Discover the beloved murder mystery phenomenon that has sold over a million copies.
