Dandy Gilver and a Bothersome Number of Corpses - An utterly gripping and twisty cosy historical murder mystery

'A ripping yarn' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Another Dandy Gilver triumph!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A wholly different sort of finishing school . . .

1920s, Portpatrick: Fleur Lipscott, the youngest of three close-knit sisters, has been unreachable since accepting a job at St. Columba's College for Young Ladies on the Solway coast. One of her panicked siblings asks childhood friend, society lady - and sometimes detective - Dandy Gilver to find Fleur and ensure she is safe.

But dark secrets line the hallways of this academy.

Teachers have been disappearing abruptly in the dead of night, a sense of terror pervades the formerly cheerful seaside town and, almost inevitably, a body washes ashore. And when Fleur confesses her involvement in the disappearances, Dandy may be too late to save her . . .

A brilliantly thrilling and witty cosy historical mystery set in a remote girls' school in the 1920s. Perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and Richard Osman.
