The Ministry of Unladylike Activity Series

by Robin Stevens

(25 reviews)

From the superstar Murder Most Unladylike author Robin Stevens comes a new mystery detective series, set during World War II for readers aged 8+.

Moving further in time from the 1930s, we're now catapulted into the 1940s, with Britain getting ready to enter war and a secret arm of the British government called the Ministry of Unladylike Activity is gearing up to train its spies. But its spies are a little different than you'd expect. They're children, and no one would ever suspect them to be spies! So we meet May and Eric, two friends who are desperate to get into the training programme, and Nuala, a wealthy young girl they meet as they fight for their spot.

Mysteries, secrets and, of course, murder are to be expected in the number-one-bestselling and multi-award-winning author's latest offering.

All the Ministry of Unladylike Activity books in order:
Book 1: The Ministry of Unladylike Activity (2022)
Book 2: The Body in the Blitz (2023)
