Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

The second thrilling mystery starring a new generation of the Detective Society, from the million-copy-bestselling author of Murder Most Unladylike: Robin Stevens.

April 1941. Britain is at war, and a secret agency called the Ministry of Unladylike Activity is training up children as spies - because grown-ups always underestimate them.

Enter May, Eric and Nuala: courageous, smart, and the Ministry's newest recruits. They have travelled to London for spy training, and are staying on a quiet street close to the Ministry, home to an unlikely collection of people thrown together by the war.

One day, while exploring the bombed-out house at the end of the street, they discover something that should not be there. Something that was not there when the Blitz wreckage was first combed through. Something that has been placed there recently. A body...

Could this be the missing Ministry spy that Daisy Wells is on a dangerous mission in France to find? Or could it be someone else - someone a resident of the street wanted silenced . . . ?

Characters

The characters were funny and had intersting personality. The story line was also really good and I enjoyed the fact it was during the wartime.

Amazing

My daughter and her best friend absolutely adore all of her books this one in particular.The book is such a thriller and just fits with all of
Robin Stevens earlier books.The narrators gave the story a perfect dramatic and mysterious
performance. They absolutely loved the end where
Hazel is stationed at Bletchley Park. They cannot wait for the next book.

Great audiobook

The story was very good, and I enjoyed the appearance of characters in the murder most unladylike series as adults. The solution to the murder was slightly less interesting than the rest of the books, however nevertheless I enjoyed listening to it. Would recommend to any audiobook listener who loves crime and history.

Brilliant sequel

The Body in the Blitz was a great sequel that really delved deeper into the characters and their personalities. In particular, this book showed more of Nuala. Beautifully read by Samantha Shortall, definitely recommend the audiobook for a very subversive experience!

Exhilarating plot and amazing narrator

There is nothing bad I can say about this audiobook. The story is exciting and I usually don’t like next generations of people but this is really good as well as the first book. I recommend it and all the books by Robin Stevens who is an inspirational and very talented. It is soo worth it. I love following the characters through their story the beginning the middle and the end were all so good.
