4.5 Loved most of the stories. I think the mystery of the pineapple plot had to be my favourite. It was nice to reach the middle and end of a story so quickly. Each story is about 20 pages, I would recommend.

I ordered Mystery & Mayhem because I’ve enjoyed novels by a few of the authors before and thought it’d be fun to see what they did with a short story. I love Robin Stevens’ Murder Most Unladylike series, and Katherine Woodfine’s Sinclair’s Mysteries too. I also read Sally Nicholls’ Things a Bright Girl Can Do recently and enjoyed it very much. It must be said that these three were among my favourites in the collection, too. This collection of short stories is a lot of fun, and I recommend it to children and adults who enjoy a good mystery. There’ll be bound to be something you love!

I’m surprised I liked it as much as I did - It was a very fun, quick read and I managed to solve 6 or 7 of the mysteries before the detectives, but they were still enjoyable nonetheless :)

I am not usually a fan of short stories but this was a fun collection.
