HarperCollins published this book in April, and I got my egalley from Net Galley for review (thank you both). You can find a copy at your local bookstore now.
I find academic mysteries a bit dry and this starts out a bit slow. However, as soon as the principal is killed, the pace picks up and the complex plot becomes to show itself.
Maisie is instructed to just see what she can uncover about activities at the school and to keep her nose out of the death investigation. Unfortunately, the principal seems to be a integral part of school life and politics there, so that's not possible.
The plot is intriguing and the killer well hidden (in plain site). The author's words have a good flow and you begin to wonder if Maisie's romance with James is fading as the story goes on. You also care about Maisie. She works hard on making things better for those around her and she's good at detecting.
I'll be watching for another book in this series. I don't think Maisie is done playing private eye yet.
Happy reading!
