Ein mit Intrigen gespickter Roman.
Ihr könnt hier einiges erwarten, Affären, Liebe, Mord und alles auf einem ländlichen "Elite" Internat.
Gewisse Handelszüge waren leichter vorhersehbar allerdings war es rundum gut verdichtet und ich wusste bis zum Ende nicht war für die Verbrechen verantwortlich ist.
Ich mochte die Charaktere, sie hatten einen Charme an sich, dass man nicht stoppen konnte ihnen weiter "zuzuhören".
Meiner Meinung nach war das Ende ein wenig zu rasch herbei geholt anhand der vorhandenen Beweise. Es ergab durchaus Sinn, aber die Zusammenschlüsse kamen plötzlich ziemlich rasch.
Alles in Allem aber ein wirklich zu empfehlendes Buch

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The prologue is great and sets the tone of the book really well. Jazz is a nice protagonist and, while she was annoying at times, I found her to be interesting as a whole. The mystery itself, while good, is nothing that crazy but the main story and side plots are tied up well and the novel doesn't ever feel too convoluted or confusing. Overall, a highly enjoyable read. Probably will reread it some time in the future.

I DNFed the first book of the 7 sisters series, but I thought a mystery by the same author would be more to my taste, and it was.
While I was moving to a different flat and was tired to the bone by carrying heavy boxes and furniture, this novel was good to come black to in the evening. An accident happened in a school, but was it really an accident or was it murder ? Is it related to another death that happened years ago ? I mostly enjoyed this book and found it relaxing, enjoying it with a nice cup of tea.
However, I generally appreciated the main female character but not her sentimental life and reactions. I also thought she relied a bit too much on instinct, even if, of course, it worked for the case. The novel would have obtained a higher rating without that.

Read September 2025
Ugh, this was just so clunky... It read like a bad first draft (which, let’s be honest, it might have been considering it was written in like 2006, or so, and then published in 2022, with minimal editing, after the author passed away the year before.)
Also, I’m always surprised when there’s this much sexism in a novel written by a woman (though granted, it was written many years ago) Oh, and of course the gay teacher sexually assaults a student.. Should have just DNFed this to be honest.
