Cute little book. The mystery was nicely done, though it was pretty easy to solve. Daisy was quite annoying, but on the other hand I do enjoy flawed characters, so I could look past her worst moments. I've had quite a stressful week and it has been nice to be able to escape to a boarding school in 1930s England. I think this can be quite a good series.

Interesting boarding school mystery series set in the 30's - somewhere between MG and YA. There is some ambiguity to the characters and their backgrounds that I liked quite a bit. Interested to see what the next one reads like.

I really wanted to love this but I just found it hard going for some reason. Enjoyed the twist at the end.
