'A ripping yarn' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Another Dandy Gilver triumph!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A wholly different sort of finishing school . . . 1920s, Portpatrick: Fleur Lipscott, the youngest of three close-knit sisters, has been unreachable since accepting a job at St. Columba's College for Young Ladies on the Solway coast. One of her panicked siblings asks childhood friend, society lady - and sometimes detective -
Dandy Gilver to find Fleur and ensure she is safe.
But dark secrets line the hallways of this academy. Teachers have been disappearing abruptly in the dead of night, a sense of terror pervades the formerly cheerful seaside town and, almost inevitably, a body washes ashore. And when Fleur confesses her involvement in the disappearances, Dandy may be too late to save her . . .
A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in a remote girls' school in the 1920s. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.Readers love Dandy Gilver and a Bothersome Number of Corpses:'An
