Written more than 50 years ago, but so relevant to today; people choosing to ignore what's unpleasant in life by immersing themselves in frivolousness and the dumbing down of society to keep the peace.

"Kafka’s unfinished novel features so many lives and so many different moments from the development of our society. Its lessons can be applied to the cultural and political moment we live in right now."

This is a quite fantastic book. The story of industry and the potentials of pure capitalism in a socialist society. While people may not agree with everything about this book as the idea of capitalism being ideal what this book does is show you that capitalism in our current society is blemished by politicians and not portrayed as it should be. While this story can be a bit long winded at times the main story is quite fantastic and worth the read.

On World Book Day Robin Stevens brings us a short Detective Society story at the seaside. When a famous swimmer shows up dead on the beach smelling of soap, the Detective Society must team up with the Junior Pinkertons to solve the murder and get back to their summer holiday.
I really enjoyed just setting aside a short amount of time to just sit down and read ‘The Case Of The Drowned Pearl’ in one go. It was a nice, short, easy read and it was great getting to see a murder investigated from a new angle, with the chapters alternating between Daisy and Hazel’s perspectives.
I can’t wait to read the next Murder Most Unladylike book, although it will be sad bidding a fond farewell to the Detective Society.
