Justice is a mature girl, older than her years because of her upbringing, and has a great determination to solve puzzles. School is totally alien to her, with its arcane customs, and its delight in games that are more like gladiatorial contests, and almost universal worship of Helena Bliss, the head girl. The rules were strict, the corridors freezing, the food disgusting, but when Justice made a new friend in Stella, she was happier. Justina es una chica lista y amante de las novelas de misterio que me ha caído muy bien y sobre la que estoy deseando seguir leyendo.Blackout curtains have come to Highbury House, like they have to every house in England, and due to the servants not being there to work, the students must do dusting and sweeping and washing up of the dishes. Secondly, you gain an insight into Justice’s character; she is not only a keen observer of her school mates and the staff at Highbury House Boarding School for the Daughters of Gentlefolk but she also demonstrates an empathetic personality as she tries to put herself into the shoes of a new classmate. Mystery and intrigue had Justice questioning everything and when a ferocious storm hit the isolated school, surrounding them with snow, blocking the entrances and paths, as well as bringing down the telephone lines, Justice knew they needed help. But dismay quickly gives way to intrigue as she finds herself drawn to Mr Arthur and his stories of piloting in the First World War - and especially when Dorothy, who lives nearby, tells her that the lodge is haunted.

Griffiths never talks down to her readers, and this series is bound to appeal to young readers, but that doesn’t preclude enjoyment by readers well beyond the target age group.

Elly Griffiths, author of the popular Norfolk-based crime series featuring Dr Ruth Galloway, tries her hand at children’s fiction in this first book in a new series about young sleuth Justice Jones. The two groups of students live beside each other in harmony, and it seems no mystery will be forthcoming from that change.

Ya en el viaje antes de llegar le dice el taxista que ha habido una muerte al lugar donde se dirige por lo que nuestra protagonista decidirá investigar que ha pasado ya que al traspasar la puerta de lo que será su nuevo hogar, se da cuenta que algo raro está ocurriendo.Justice isn’t at all surprised when someone else dies, although she’s puzzled that it’s her No 1 suspect. There was definitely an homage to Enid Blyton's boarding school series, but I felt it was trying too hard to be clever.
