What a blooming brilliant book! I love Maz’s writing for children but her crime fiction for adults is just top notch.
When the headteacher of the village primary school dies in mysterious circumstances, it becomes the talk of the town. No one is sad to see her go and most people have a motive to kill her but who did it or was it just an accident?
Well, the local bobby isn’t the sharpest tool on the shelf so it comes down to the parent what’s app chat for Tigers class to hash it all out. One being a former detective offers plenty of sound advice and ideas but it takes some time to work it all out.
Thrown into the mix are the staff members whose stories truly come to light amidst the drama of the investigation. They all have secrets, some of which are being blackmailed and others saved for special occasions. While the staff struggle to keep the school going, the dreaded call from Ofsted looms and another murder takes place.
Norovirus rips through the school, a teen is doing some online vigilante justice for pervs in the community and Ofsted finally calls. All hell breaks loose and it is a book that I completely devoured. It has heart- so much heart and I adored the characters and their relationships and connections. It has humour and awkward situations aplenty.
This is an absolute must read! Pre-order now and I promise you will not be disappointed!
