The Ministry of Unladylike Activity: Robin Stevens – In Association with Waterstones.

Join Robin Stevens, author of the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series, for a truly special event, hosted by Waterstones to celebrate the publication of her brilliant new book The Ministry of Unladylike Activity at Birmingham’s Glee Club. At this event Robin will talk about her writing career, introduce readers to her new detectives May, Nuala and Eric and will share her tips on writing great mystery stories. There will also be an opportunity for children to ask Robin their burning questions, like any great detective!

The Ministry of Unladylike Activity is the start of a thrilling new World War Two mystery featuring two resourceful children May and Eric desperate to be taken on as spies for the titular government ministry. Masquerading as evacuees, May and Eric find themselves as Elysium Hall, home to the wealthy Verey family, and suspect there are secrets to be uncovered. And then, someone is murdered…

Robin Stevens was born in California but grew up in Oxford, directly opposite the house where Alice in Wonderland lived. A life-long fan of detective fiction she is best known as the author of the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries, starring dynamic duo Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong. She is also the author of The Guggenheim Mystery. Robin still hopes she might get the chance to do some detecting of her own one day. She lives in Oxford.
