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 . . .

Great story - many different elements

I loved the weaving together of the multiple story lines. I wish there was an ongoing series with Detective Jas.

Excellent crime mystery

Highly recommended not only for crime mystery fans but also for people who enjoy a truly well written and captivating novel. Excellent character description and development, a story that became more and more engaging as it went on. The only negative is that Lucinda is no longer with us to write more mystery novels.

Not bad

The story was reasonably believable. However there seemed to be too many red herrings and and at no stage was the actual killer a big enough part of the actual story line.

Intricate plot great narration

Twists and turns with great ending 2nd guessed who the murderer was during entire story

Great story!

The story was very well written, and performed. The writing and plot were especially good, considering the author had not completed it herself.
