Death in the Spotlight

Robin Stevens

Someone will take their final bow . . . The seventh thrilling Murder Most Unladylike mystery.

But the Detective Society is never far away from danger, and it’s clear there’s trouble afoot at the Rue.

Jealousy, threats and horrible pranks quickly spiral out of control – and then a body is found.

Now Hazel and Daisy must take centre stage and solve the crime . . . before the murderer strikes again.

Latest reviews

I loved when Hazel was running away from Bridget Alexander and Gearge

I really liked this book because I found it very tense and thrilling.My favourite character in this book is Hazel because she stands out due to her growth and increased confidence throughout the series.Also,the part that really made me interested is when Hazel and Daisy found a body in a well in a basement underneath the Rue Theatre,this part made me desperate to find out what was going to happen next.

So good loved it, definitely recommend

My favourite characters were Daisy and Martita. I recommend it because it is very interesting.

I love this series nearly finished it good for people who love a good mystery

I loved this book . It is set in a theatre rehearsing Romeo and Juliet but the actress playing Juliet is being sent threats and then she is murdered.

The best murder crime I've read yet! Two girls Daisy and Hazel are sent of by Daisy's uncle to a theatre, to stay out of detecting trouble. Only, muder strikes, and famous actress, Rose Tree, is reported dead. The girls follow the trail, only this muder was one of a kind. On the day of the dreaded show, the girls must work quickly, before all the members of the theatre are killed... Can the girls prove that this muder is not what we think, or will the characters Romeo and Julliet really be killed...? I think I would deffinately recommend this to children over 8 whom are looking for a new book. After this a whole series awaits you, of when it all started in Deepden, school for girls, and a teacher is proclaimed dead...

Another great murder mystery by Steven’s. Great setting for theatre lovers.

I love this series

I thought this book was a bit boring but the ending did surprise me!

Interesting plot twist!!

I really like mystery books so this was made for me.

I love detective books and these have been the perfect read for me.I have enjoyed every moment of reading them.

i have rated this as 3 star because i found the beginning and the end a little boring.

Death in the Spotlight was amazing to read after all the other books by Robin Stevens. This is one of my favourite books after Death Sets Sail. My favourite character is Hazel because she is just so funny with Daisy, her best friend and fellow member of the Detective Society. I would definitely recommend the whole Murder Most Unladylike series and the Ministry of Unladylike Activity series to someone else (ages 9 and over).

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SERIES! Robin Stevens writes them so well! My favourite character in this one is Hazel, because she is so different to Daisy but they get along so well! I would recommend this to anyone who likes historical fiction and murder mystery!

Amazing! I like how the have went to London and performed in a play even though Hazel was shy

Very interesting murder mystery. I loved trying to work out who did it along with the main characters Hazel and Daisy.

AMAZING This book just so happens to be from my favourite series of all time and I love it. Personally, I think Robin Stevens is underrated. Only two of my freindss have heard of her.

I loved it! One of the best books ever written! About when Hazel and Daisy go to London to the Rue theatre and get wrapped up in another mystery with a huge twist at the end!
