Robin Stevens was born in California and grew up in Oxford, England, across the road from the house where Alice of Alice in Wonderland lived. Robin has been making up stories all her life. She spent her teenage years at boarding school, reading a lot of murder mysteries and hoping that she’d get the chance to do some detecting herself (she didn’t). She studied crime fiction in college and then worked in children’s publishing. Robin now lives in England with her family.

* "One part instruction manual, two parts mystery story, a dash of history, a smattering of recipes, and a lot of fun....It’s all enormously entertaining, serving either as an engaging appendix to those already familiar with the girls’ exploits or as a delightful introduction to the detecting duo and the concept of crime novels....A captivating compilation sure to make an instant investigator out of anyone."
