Description

A twisting, page-turning tour-de-force from the beloved, multimillion-copy selling sensation, Lucinda Riley, author of the Seven Sisters series.

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 return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine 'Jazz' Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, but reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.

Reunited with her loyal Sergeant, Alastair Miles, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish's tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.

As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly Classics Master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her own personal demons.

Then a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined.

The Murders at Fleat House has you following every clues, guessing everyone is the murderer and cheering on Jazz and her team.

The book takes place at a prestigious school for boys and one of them is dead and one is scared.

I looked suspiciously at everyone , suspected most and yet somehow I was wrong.

Lucinda Riley was a born storyteller and will be sadly missed; her books will keep her memory alive for her readers.

I am so glad The Murders at Fleat House was published posthumously . It's one of my favourite reads and I will certainly be buying a hard copy to sit beside Lucinda Riley's other books on my shelves.

Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan Macmillan for a read I wont forget.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

Wow wow wow. This was a great novel - the mystery was well thought out, the characters very intriguing, and well developed. I wish so much that Lucinda Riley hadn't passed - this would have been a fantastic start to a series. The main character, Jazz, has a good backstory that is explored only slightly. So so good - even as the stand alone that it is inevitably is.
