About this listen
Brought to you by Puffin.
Britain is at war, and a secret arm of the British government called the Ministry of Unladylike Activity is training up spies. And who better to become a spy than a child? A child can go places, see things and listen in on conversations in a way that no adult ever can.
Enter May Wong and her friends. Trained up at the Ministry, they soon embark upon their first mission: masquerading as evacuees, they are sent to a wealthy manor house to spy on the owner, who is suspected of working for the enemy.
And then the murder happens...

Critic Reviews
As funny, clever, and warm as we've come to expect from Robin Stevens, The Ministry of Unladylike Activity is such a delight (Louise O'Neill)
Robin Stevens is Agatha Christie for children: her books have all the rich satisfactions, all the twists and pleasures and the enormous delights of instant mystery classics. I am always hungry for the next one (Katherine Rundell on the Murder Most Unladylike series)
Emotionally involving, enjoyably logical and engaging . . . The sense of place, time and voice are carefully created, and whether you solve the mystery before May, Eric and Nuala or not, you will make the 400-page journey - despite deaths on the way - with a spring in your step (Nicolette Jones)
A new crew of resourceful children takes the helm . . . Meticulous, lightly worn research and sharp character observation (Imogen Russell-Williams)
The author of the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike series is returning to what she does best, which is creating a fictional world full of child detectives, period details, sumptuous settings and, yes, murder . . . Spirited and fun, this is a must for young murder mystery fans
Expect excitement, intrigue, friendship and a puzzling mystery (Week Junior)
Much superb Agatha Christie-style whodunnitry
This is an exciting book full of suspense . . . I give it 10/10! (Lizzie, aged 8)
Rip-roaring stuff
A fiendishly plotted, astutely observed novel that's equally perfect for avid Stevens fans and new readers. Absolutely thrilling! (Louie Stowell)
