I absolutely loved rereading this book. First Class Murder is such a good book for the following reasons.
1. Our protagonists/detectives Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong. They are amazing characters because they are so funny, cunning, sneaky and smart. They're friendsh is also so strong and I just love reading about them and how they work so well together to solve the murder even though they only 14 years old. I also love how even though they were both born into different cultures(Hazel is Chinese and Daisy is English), doesn't effect the they're friendship at all which I loved reading about.
2. The Setting. The story is set in 1936 in a first class train travelling through Europe. You have loads of different characters who are all suspects in murder. Also the fact that it's a locked room murder makes the stakes even higher. They all have very good motives and all have the opportunity of doing so which makes it even more surprising how Daisy and Hazel solved the murder.
Conclusion
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone ages 12+ who likes murder mystery books with strong friendships.
