![]() When some rather strange accidents begin happening to Donald Melling - who, on Christmas Day, comes into a very large inheritance - Hazel and Daisy start to suspect that Donald's younger (by five minutes) brother, the irrepressible Chummy, who is always playing pranks on his brother, is not just trying to irritate Donald but possibly trying to kill him. Also in Cambridge at Maudlin College (again obviously a fictional establishment, but based on Magdalen College) are Daisy's brother, Bertie, and Bertie's friends, twin brothers Donald and Charles (Chummy) Melling at St John's College is Bertie's very close friend, Harold Mukherjee, whose brother, George, and his friend Alexander (members of the Junior Pinkerton Detective Agency, with whom Hazel and Daisy are already acquainted) are staying with Harold in order to decide whether they want to apply for places at Cambridge next year. ![]() ![]() ![]() The two girls are, in theory, supposed to be under the charge of Amanda, one of the students at St Lucy’s, a very clever young woman who is reading history at the college, but is far too busy to spend time trailing around with the girls, so Daisy and Hazel are left very much to their own devices. It is 1935 and for the fifth Murder Most Unladylike story 'Mistletoe and Murder' we find Hazel and Daisy in Cambridge, where they are staying over the Christmas hols in St Lucy's College (a fictional establishment) with Daisy's Great Aunt Eustacia Mountfitchet, who is a mathematics don at the college. ![]()
