Publisher's summary

Eve Mallow’s going back to school! But when a former student is murdered, Eve must discover who taught her a deadly lesson....

Eve Mallow is delighted when she’s asked to cater Founders’ Day at Southwood School. It’s the best–and most secretive–school for miles around, and Eve can’t wait to see what it’s really like. But when she arrives, the atmosphere is far from scholarly. Natalie Somerson, ex-pupil and professional gossip, is the guest of honor, but nobody seems to want her there...especially when her speech stirs up an old scandal about a secret love affair. So why was she invited?

The next morning, Natalie is found dead in a locked attic room. To make matters worse, Eve’s boyfriend, Robin, becomes the police’s prime suspect. Determined to prove his innocence, Eve starts to investigate everyone with a stake in the school. Is it the prudish principal, worried about Natalie’s influence? Her former teacher, whose life Natalie made miserable? Or the head girl, who seemed to hate Natalie one day and adore her the next?

When strange letters arrive at the school and Eve finds a bottle of Natalie’s perfume in the most unexpected place, she senses time is running out to save Robin’s good name. Eve had better study her suspects and unmask the real killer...before they give her a fatal mark!

An utterly delightful English cozy mystery, perfect for fans of Frances Evesham, J.R. Ellis, and Agatha Christie.

You’d think she’d learn

I do like the author’s writing, but you’d think by this time Eve would be more discerning about accusing people and putting herself in dangerous positions.

Enjoyable as usual

I’ve listened to each installment in the series and look forward to each new one. I enjoy the narration and relationships. I don’t really understand the reviews complaining about the main character. It’s fiction, not reality.

Best yet!

I have read all the books in the series and love all the colorful main characters. This book is the best in the series so far. I hope to see more of Robin in the future as part of the Eve/Robin sleuthing duo!

Vapid

Busy body who doesn’t get any smarter every time someone attempts to bash her skull in. And her strong silent type former cop in witness protection hides behind the bushes wringing his hands while she saves him yet again. Ridiculous. Not buying another silly Claire Chase novella.
