She is at a crossroads in her life after leaving the Metropolitan Police in London after her divorce from a fellow detective. Norfolk is a new start for her, she wants a quiet life where she can paint and live life at a much slower pace. As a detective she is repected by her contemporites and her superiors as well which is why she is asked to lead the murder investigation. I liked that we got to see all the sides of Jazz’s character; her analytic and methodical investigate technique, her venerability after her divorce and her love and care for her parents. The same attention is paid to the cast of supporting characters who open up the story and many of whom I felt real empathy for, of course there are a few who a very dislikable to say the least. Tenemos un escenario principal que es el internado inglés St.Stephen, enmarcado en una zona rural de Inglaterra.

Murders at Fleat House by Lucinda Riley Book Review: The Murders at Fleat House by Lucinda Riley

Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in England, in 2015 Lucinda fulfilled her dream of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were written. Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died in June 2021 I loved the story. Although I would call it a cosy in that there is no overt violence and it is not dark, it is nevertheless an engaging and complex mystery that challenges the police at every step of the way. It is set in a somewhat prestigious boarding school in Norfolk. I admired her and her parents a lot! Tom, her father, was one of my favourite side characters in this book. Such a humorous man. Lucinda Riley è un’autrice molto famosa ma io non avevo letto nulla di suo. Non so per qualche motivo, le sue storie pensavo non facessero per me... poi però è arrivato un romanzo giallo, unico di questo genere scritto da questa donna che ci ha lasciato troppo presto, un peccato perché è stata una lettura molto bella e c’era il potenziale per una nuova saga crime con i fiocchi!

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 . . . 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. La trama está muy bien hilada. No es que nos descubra nada nuevo, pero ha sabido manejar los mimbres puestos en juego. Al estilo de Agatha Christie, genera intriga, todos ocultan algo y no sé si ha quedado alguno del que no haya sospechado.
