Alrededor de Fleat House tendremos asesinatos, desapariciones, confesiones falsas, algo de bullying (nada escabroso, lo cual es de agradecer) y, ¿cómo no?

It’s also about 100 pages too long for a thriller - if you took out all the mentions of coffee - characters thinking about it, offering it, making it, and drinking it, you’d be halfway there, and there was also an unnecessary and uninteresting illness in the protagonists family that went on too long. Jazz Hunter to bohaterka, której poczynania śledzi się z prawdziwą przyjemnością, której przeszłość chcielibyśmy zgłębić, towarzyszyć jej w kolejnych sprawach. Made for some tense reading, knowing the murderer was likely to strike again with everyone distracted. Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. I really loved this complicated Who Dunnit and the boarding school trope is one that I never seem to tire of.This is put on hold however after a teacher at the school commits suicide and Jazz must work out if the two events are connected. Por momentos me ha recordado a Agatha Christie, y también me ha traído a la memoria a Ann Cleves e incluso a M. Al estilo de Agatha Christie, genera intriga, todos ocultan algo y no sé si ha quedado alguno del que no haya sospechado. 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! I had guessed the culprit in the beginning but was happy with the author’s jumbled yarn that linked the past and present into one engrossing narrative.

Un ragazzino viene trovato morto per aver ingerito delle aspirine a cui era allergico, sembra un atto voluto ma qualcosa stona. Me ha parecido bastante real, con problemas cotidianos y una forma de pensar y actuar coherente con el desarrollo. Jazz is likeable and relatable, and her ex is a total tosser who irritated me, but his presence gave Jazz the closure she needed to move to the next chapter in her life!

I totally recommend it, and I would read the next book if it was series because the author got me invested in her characters! She spent the first few years of her life in the village of Drumbeg near Belfast before moving to England. To top it all off, Julian Forbes, a lawyer who has moved in with Rory’s mother is found dead in the cellar at the school, the same cellar where a young boy killed himself 25 years ago. Many thanks to Netgalley and AuthorBuzz for the much appreciated arc which I reviewed voluntarily and honestly. Then a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career.

The characters are well-crafted and even the pathetic Angela Miller and the incompetent headmaster of the school evoke pity at the turn of the events that rock their respective lives. Delitti a Fleat House è un titolo azzeccato perché la storia ruota tutta intorno alla costruzione adibita a dormitorio di questa scuola esclusiva nella periferia inglese. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London but reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss. Todo se va entretejiendo para llegar a la resolución sin cabos sueltos, el ritmo es ágil y los personajes no están mal.The investigation that proceeds with the arrival of Jazz and Miles reveals the secrets that have connections to events in the past. I have the utmost respect for Riley’s family in keeping this novel as close as possible to Lucinda’s voice. Isabella, Izzy, is a shitty friend for telling her best friend´s cheating ex husband where to find her without telling her that she told him, and also a shitty psychologist for excusing the cheating and telling her friend "Boys will be boys. As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly Classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. Even though this book was set in the early 2000s the isolation of the characters, whether in the school, their houses or just Norfolk in general meant the whole story felt cut off from the semi-modern world and Jazz and the rest of her team had to rely on actual deduction rather than too much forensic technology.
