O knihe
Meet Dulwich Village's most daring resident, Beth Haldane. Mother to a sweet little boy, owner of a sulky cat... and solver of mysteries? It's a crisp spring day in Dulwich Village when Beth arrives at the intricate iron gates of Wyatt's School for her new job as the historian's assistant. But on a lunchtime stroll admiring the pristine grounds of this five-hundred-year-old institution, Beth is shocked to stumble over the body of her new boss Alan Jenkins: spectacles askew, his mustard-yellow tweed jacket covered in blood. Gossip about outsider Beth spreads like wildfire. The parents in the playground are all whispering: did she bump him off to get her hands on his job? Desperate to clear her name and protect her own little boy, Beth turns her research skills to hunt for the true killer. She soon discovers Alan rubbed his fellow teachers up the wrong way... could the handsome headmaster be involved? Why did Beth see a flash of the school receptionist's bright pink jumper at the murder scene? And what is the groundskeeper hiding? When Beth returns from her sleuthing to find her office in disarray and documents missing from the archives, it's clear this prestigious school hides a deadly secret. But with parents and teachers panicking that the long-protected reputation of Wyatt's is under threat, will Beth herself be in the murderer's sights before the school bell rings? Wander down the cobbled streets of Dulwich, where nothing is as perfect as it seems! Fans of Agatha Christie, The Thursday Murder Club and Faith Martin won't be able to put down this deliciously gripping mystery. This book was previously published as Death in Dulwich.
