Death Sets Sail sees Daisy and Hazel in Egypt, taking a cruise along the Nile — and hoping to see some ancient temples, or maybe a mummy or two?

un pomeriggio come tanti alla scuola Deepdean, quando Hazel trova nella palestra il cadavere della signorina Bell, l’inflessibile insegnante di scienze. There’s a bit where they say like, the one bad thing about growing up is you can't hide under tables anymore. So, they can’t sneak around the way they could when they were little kids and their detecting methods would have to change as they got older and older. And so I thought this is probably the right time to say goodbye to this this chapter and and finish the series.” It’s Christmas, and the snow is falling in Cambridge, where the detective duo Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are spending the festive period. But Hazel’s hopes of relaxing amongst the beautiful spires, cosy libraries and inviting tea-rooms are dashed by the danger lurking in the dark stairwells of Maudlin College. Two days before Christmas, there is a terrible accident. At least, it appears to be an accident - until the Detective Society look a little closer, and realise a murder has taken place.And then I wrote the final chapter and I cried; I’ve cried every time I’ve read the end of the book. [But] I really wanted to end the series. I thought it was the right time to do it. The girls are growing up, they're no longer like little kids anymore in the way they were when the series began. It's just it felt like the right time, for them and for the story. But I've been writing these books for 10 years now, a third of my life pretty much. And [writing the final book] felt like saying goodbye to friends; like the end of an era, so massively emotional.” Bude přece super řešit vzrušující záhady! Jenže ono se dál nic neděje – pokud tedy nepočítáme zmizelou kravatu jejich spolužačky Lavinie. Pak ale Hazel najde v tělocvičně bezvládně ležet učitelku Bellovou. Když se po chvilce vrátí i s Daisy zpět, tělo je pryč.
