Description
The peculiar death of an assistant matron at a distinguished boys' school draws amateur sleuth Primrose Oughterard into another delightfully quirky mystery.
Erasmus House, a prestigious prep school for boys in Lewes, is in uncharacteristic disarray over a looming visit from Her Majesty’s inspectors. Convinced that inspectors dislike old-established schools, headmaster Mr Winchbrooke devises a cunning plan to drag Erasmus House into modernity – by replacing the rustic paintings of eccentric local artist and amateur sleuth, Primrose Oughterard, with more ‘challenging’ abstract works.
But Primrose’s paintings are the least of Winchbrooke’s worries when the school’s assistant matron, Miss Memling, is found dead in a Brighton hotel room, clutching an empty gin bottle. Was there more to dull Aida Memling than met the eye? As one of the school’s trustees, Primrose springs into action. With her late brother Francis’s pets Maurice and Bouncer by her side, can Primrose solve the Memling mystery?

Primrose Oughterard is a great character, Maurice the cat and Bouncer the dog a couple of amateur investigator I love.
I love Suzette Hill's mystery as they're always witty, full of sharp observation about humans, and solid mysteries.
This one involves the death of a matron of a local school, twists and secrets, plus a lot of pets and fun.
Well plotted, great storytelling: a page turner I couldn't put down.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine
