Yoto Says: This two-book mystery collection follows two bold girls solving murder plots and art thefts in 18th-century London, inspired by real Black British historical figures.
Twelve-year-olds Lizzie Sancho and Dido Belle are from different worlds – Lizzie lives in Westminster in her dad’s tea shop, while Belle is an heiress being brought up by her aunt and uncle at grand Kenwood House – but they both share a love of solving mysteries. In their first two adventures Lizzie and Belle are on the case to prevent a murder on stage and then a portrait theft puts them on the trail of a sinister conspiracy on London's streets.
