Summary

The Murders at Fleat House is a suspenseful and utterly compelling crime novel from the author of the multimillion-selling The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley.

The sudden death of a pupil in Fleat House at St Stephen’s–a small private boarding school in deepest Norfolk–is a shocking event that the headmaster is very keen to call a tragic accident.

But the local police cannot rule out foul play and the case prompts the return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine ‘Jazz’ Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.

Reunited with her loyal sergeant, she enters the closed world of the school and, as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish’s tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.

Charlie is exposed as an arrogant bully, and those around him had both motive and opportunity to switch the drugs he took daily to control his epilepsy.

As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of a young pupil and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . .

Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined . . .

Absolutely Fantastic

This book is Soo gripping. I hope it would be turned into a series with either Gemma Whelan or Vicky Mclure as Jaz. It's a real shame there's no follow up book.

Brilliant

A fabulous book, full of twists and turns and suspense. The narration was excellent. Best book I have listened to this year. Like others I am so sorry that there can not be any more. This would have made a fantastic series. RIP Lucinda and thanks for the pleasure you have given me through your writing.

Great read

I really enjoyed this book. The plot was excellent and I could not guess the outcome until very close to the end.

Very enjoyable

A well-plotted story with plenty of twists and turns. I work in a boarding school and allowing for some inevitable regulatory changes in the 15 or more years since the book was written, could not fault the depiction of the school setting. So very sad that the author did not live to give us more of such an engaging lead detective.

A throughly engaging crime thriller

of late I have often been disappointed with many of the books I download. Too often thrillers are overly formulaic with unengaging protagonists. This book completely bucks that trend and I am only sad there will be no more in the series
