Welcome one and all to the squeal of Murder Most Unwarrior Like. Yay! I'm so excited to finally have it up! So this fanfic is based off the sequel to Murder Most Unlady Like by Robin Stevens and disclaimer I actually don't own either those books or Warriors by Erin Hunter (so surprising, right?) Anyway, before you read Deathberries For Dinner if you already haven't, I highly recommend going back reading and Murder Most Unwarrior Like first but if you don't want to bother that's actually pretty alright because there aren't really any spoilers in here to the last mystery just a few mentions of it in passing sooo *shrugs*.

Full Blurb: It's been over two moons since the shocking events at the beginning of the season, but life goes on and Hazelpaw and Daisypaw are getting older. To celebrate becoming 3rd seasoners, the two apprentices along with Daisypaw's eccentric family members head to Cardinal Next - an old and intriguing twoleg nest - for fun times and feasts. But wherever the detectives go, trouble seems to follow and one of the guests soon falls mysteriously ill; seemingly poisoned - by deathberries!

With furious storms preventing every cat from leaving and the Clan Guard arriving, Cardinal Nest suddenly feels like a very dangerous place to be. Appearances can be deceiving and every cat at Cardinal Nest has a secret or two to protect.

And when some cat very close to Daisypaw appears suspicious, it is up to the Detective Society to do everything they can to reveal the truth…...no matter the consequences.

THE CLANS

Note: All these clans (except CloudClan) occupy the same lake territory as the clans in the warriors series - just to make it easier to imagine - but I've added my own extra landmarks in PineClan territory needed for the story.

BRIGHTCLAN - Located on ThunderClan territory. Not much to say since this clan doesn't actually appear in the story. Personality attributes are probably similar to ThunderClan as well. Leader is a tom called Birchstar.

PINECLAN - Located in ShadowClan territory. They are a rather proud and proper group, not very tolerant of outsiders. The story centres around this clan. Leader is a she cat called Dovestar.

STORMCLAN - In RiverClan territory. They don't appear in the story either. Personality is probably laid back and casual, but if PineClan is a tad snobbish then they have a tendency to be arrogant or smug. Leader is a she cat called Wavestar.

EARTHCLAN - Located in WindClan territory. Can be rather untrusting towards - anyone really. Can come off a bit hostile perhaps. They don't appear in the story. Leader is a tom called Breezestar.

CLOUDCLAN - Now here's something interesting! They occupy the gorge territory which SkyClan occupy/ied in the books. Since they are so far from the other clans, however, they've developed their own language and accent (and names). This clan is respected by the others and it is common for the lake clans to arrange a small patrol to go and visit on occasion. It has also become common for CloudClan to send one of their own warriors to a lake clan (either permanently or for a time) to teach their culture and language there. In PineClan, this warrior is Robin's Call.
