'A cleverly woven mystery to savour' – Sunday Express

The sudden death of a pupil in Fleat House at St Stephen’s – a small private boarding school in deepest Norfolk – is a shocking event that the headmaster is very keen to call a tragic accident.

But the local police cannot rule out foul play, and the case prompts the reluctant return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine ‘Jazz’ Hunter to the force. Reunited with her loyal sergeant, she enters the closed world of the school and begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish’s tragic death.

When staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of a young pupil and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads. But, while snow covers the landscape, a suspect goes missing.

As Jazz must confront her personal demons, a grim discovery at the school will make this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined . . .

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The narration was absolutely superb and the storyline had me guessing almost to the end.
I enjoyed it so much that I’ve just downloaded another of Lucinda’s books and can’t wait to get started.

This book is Soo gripping. I hope it would be turned into a series with either Gemma Whelan or Vicky Mclure as Jaz. It's a real shame there's no follow up book.

Absolutely Fantastic

Pleasant but a bit predictable and some drawn out parts as well. Easy read, cosy, pleasant - not a thriller.

Cosy crime story

First Lucinda Riley I have “read” and first time I had Gemma Whelan read to me. Both were a magnificent experience.

Beautiful
