In a world where curtseying, deportment and etiquette are the backbone of the curriculum, and tea is still served by uniformed maids, this is a glorious slice of fantastical escapism. Wells and Wong return for another gripping tale of blackguardly behaviour at Deepdean, where old allies have become foes and old certainties are in flux. This teen murder-mystery, set in an exclusive girls’ school in 1936 is reminiscent of Enid Blyton’s boarding school novels, but with a hefty dose of Agatha Christie’s gruesome, puzzling plotlines. Will the restrictive school regimen prevent the girls from maintaining their superb record of crime-solving or will their insider knowledge be the thing that gives them the edge over conventional detectives? But all that changes when their friend and fellow teen detective, Beanie, witnesses a shocking incident from the window of their dormitory.Īs Daisy and her cronies slip in to full-on investigation mode, the body count rises steadily but evidence seems thin on the ground.
