SYNOPSIS
Something is rotten at the Oakton Academy for Distinguished Young Gentlemen.
The headmaster is losing control of the school with rumors of fighting, cheating, and all-night parties – and that’s just the teachers.
When a body is discovered, bludgeoned to death with a monkey statue on the last day of term, renowned detective Lord Edgington and his bumbling grandson Christopher are on hand to search for the killer. But with such a range of despicable suspects – again, that’s just the teachers – plotting prefects and maniacal students to choose from, will the discordant duo be up to the challenge?
The second book in the “Lord Edgington Investigates…” mystery series has all the intrigue, humor, and twists of its bestselling predecessor, “Murder at the Spring Ball.”
“A Body at a Boarding School” is a 1920s-style whodunnit in a wonderfully wicked setting with a cast of curious characters to enjoy. Get ready to discover whether the great Lord Edgington can catch the killer and be home in time for afternoon tea.
REVIEW
You never know what deviant behavior lurks behind “respectable” walls, however Lord Edgington has an innate ability for looking beyond the obvious to get at the truth, no matter how twisted it is.
Although this is part of a series, each book can easily be read as a standalone.
I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
