Missing maids, suspicious teachers and a snow storm to die for… For a fearless girl called Justice Jones, super-smart super-sleuth, it’s just the start of a spine-tingling first term at Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. For fans of Robin Stevens, Katherine Woodfine and Enid Blyton.
When Justice’s mother dies, her father packs her off to Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk. He’s a barrister – specialising in murder trials – and he’s just too busy to look after her alone.
Having previously been home-schooled, the transition is a shock. Can it really be the case that blondes rule the corridors? Are all uniforms such a charming shade of brown? And do schools normally hide dangerous secrets about the murder of a chamber maid?
Justice takes it upon herself to uncover the truth. (Mainly about the murder, but perhaps she can figure out her new nemesis – the angelic Rose – at the same time.) But when a storm cuts the school off from the real world, the body count starts to rise and Justice realises she’ll need help from her new friends if she’s going to find the killer before it’s too late …

In this book, Justice goes to a new school called Highbury House, and a maid has died of pneumonia, but Justice thinks she was murdered. A teacher called Miss Thomas is killed, then a girl called Helena Bliss who is the head girl is killed. They find out at the end that Matron killed Miss Thomas because once when Mis Thomas was the games teacher, she rescued Justice's friend Rose's mum from a snowstorm but left Matron's daughter who died. Matron injured Helena because she thought she was Rose, to get revenge. Helena was there in a dark tunnel in the night because she was meeting the French teacher, who she was in love with.

I love this book it’s a murder mystery book so it’s always got a plot twist and I was on the edge of my seat when it ended. “School is murder but justice is on the case!” After the tragic death of her mother, justice is sent to boarding school and realises something is suspicious!
