Top Marks For Murder by Robin Stevens
Aug. 30th, 2020 11:59 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are back at Deepdean School for Girls, where plans are underway for a most exciting event: the Anniversary Weekend.
But as parents arrive at Deepdean, LONG-BURIED RIVALRIES AND SECRETS begin to surface. Then a shocking incident takes place in the woods. The girls are convinced THIS IS MURDER - and everything points to one of the parents.
And unless the killer is caught, DEEPDEAN WILL CLOSE FOREVER.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The 8th book in Robin Stevens’s crime mystery series for readers aged 9+ is another cunning mystery filled with red herrings and clever twists. Daisy and Hazel’s characters and relationship are developed further and depth is given to Lavinia and Beanie but with all the students and parents at Deepdean I sometimes struggled to keep track of who was who although that is a minor quibble given how tightly this is plotted and how fast it moves.
