‘Ripping good fun’ The Times
‘Thrilling’ Guardian
As they return to Deepdean for a new school term, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are faced with some big changes.
For one, there’s a new Head Girl, Elizabeth Hurst, and a team of Prefects- and these bullying Big Girls are certainly not good eggs.
Then, after the fireworks display on Bonfire Night, Elizabeth is found – murdered.
Many girls at Deepdean had reason to hate Elizabeth, but who might have committed such foul play?
Could the murder be linked to the secrets and scandals, scribbled on scraps of paper, that are suddenly appearing around the school?
And with their own friendship falling to pieces, how will Daisy and Hazel solve this mystery?

This was honestly a great book. I cannot remember much of it but it was good. I’m currently reading the next book of this series, Mistletoe and Murder.

The head girl is murdered! Miss Bernard thinks that she was murdered with a rake, but soon it becomes clear that she was actually murdered with a hockey stick. Filled with lots of red herrings and kept me on the edge of my seat!

It was amazing because it had 2 crimes as well as murder. It was a clever murder like all the other books are. Read it!

Another mysterious, fantastic, fun book in the murder most unladylike serious. It had the usual twists and turns in it - the murder is surprising. I recommend it to children 9+ who like mysterious and don't mind gore ( vegetarians might not like it).

My favourite part is when Binny is found at last and she was asking for buns and biscuits because she was hungry and surprised why the girls around her were all worried and relieved. I really recommend this book.

Love It!! Great Read !!! So interesting!

I loved how this one included the children, signalling that anyone can do horrible things but some people just don’t believe it. The main suspects were the Prefects which made the story very cleverly written because of the alibis and the motives of the students.
