Sinister Stranger at St Bride''s: A page-turning cozy murder mystery from Debbie Young

For anyone who loved St Trinians old or new or loves a cozy mystery on a grand estate filled with rather interesting characters.

When an American stranger turns up claiming to be the rightful owner of the schools magnificent country estate it could spell trouble for everyone at St Brides . . .

No one can believe it when the headmistress, Hairnet, instantly accepts the strangers claim, not:

• the put-upon Bursar, ousted from his cosy estate cottage by the stranger

• the enigmatic Max Security, raring to engage in a spot of espionage

• the sensible Judith Gosling, who knows more about Lord Bunting than shes letting on

• the irrepressible Gemma Lamb, determined to keep the school open

Only fickle maths teacher Oriana Bliss isnt suspicious of the stranger, after all she can just marry him and secure St Brides future forever. That's if inventive pranks by the girls - and the school cat - don't drive him away first.

Who will nab the stranger first? Oriana with the parsons noose? Gemma with sinister secrets? Or could this be the end of St Brides?
