Hurlingham House school is a high-achiever's heaven, full of happy, hard-working pupils. There's just the small matter of the dead body on the field... Sounds like a case for Epiphany Bloom!
When Epiphany Bloom's best friend's sister Claire is accused of trading exam papers for money, Epiphany agrees to see Ms Peters, the headteacher of Claire's fiercely competitive school, to provide moral support. Claire has always been a model student and is loudly protesting her innocence: surely it's all just a misunderstanding.
But when Ms Peters hears about Epiphany's previous sleuthing exploits, she enlists her help to track down the true culprit!
Taking a job as a PE teacher, Epiphany soon realises she has plenty of suspects for the exam scam mastermind. The broke young teacher with a shady past? The father willing to buy his daughter anything - including grades? The school governor desperate to keep Hurlingham House at the top of the ranks?
Then Epiphany finds one of them dead at the school fair, and it becomes clear someone is taking the cut-throat culture of the school too literally - and when mysterious accidents start happening around her too, it seems the killer knows she's onto them.
Can Epiphany solve the murder as well as clearing Claire's name, before she becomes the next victim? This is one test she can't afford to fail...
A charming and totally addictive cozy mystery with a hilarious and warm-hearted heroine. A must-read for fans of M.C. Beaton, Lee Strauss and Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series.
