Arsenic For Tea is set in the 1930s and is about two school girls who solve murder mysteries. They go to one of the girls' houses on holiday and a visitor to the house dies after drinking a cup of tea. The girls try to figure out who did it… Everybody in the house is a suspect!
My favourite character is Daisy Wells. I like her because she has style and knows a lot about being a detective. She is also brave and adventurous.
I liked this book, it was scary and exciting when no one could leave the mansion because it was cut off by a flood. The girls were stuck inside and so was the killer. I liked trying to solve the mystery as I was reading the book. I didn't realise who the killer was until the end of the book, as there was a good twist at the end!
The message of this book is that people aren't always as they seem!
