I really like this book but

I do not know how Daisy can just lie like that

and

THE PLOT TWIST ARE JUST SO GOOD AND PLANNED

Reasons for no/it is complicated
Main flaws= when it comes to Daisy and some of the mistresses and ‘The One’ they can be, but it’s not a huge plot point
Cast= But only main thing is just that one person is from a different country and place than everyone else
Characters lovable= it is quite complicated because

it is quite important for Daisy’s character at the end of the book

but nothing other than that really

It's been a long time since I've disliked a character as much as I do Daisy...

This series of books was in my school library before I was and I often wondered at a series about murder for tweens.  Finally, I got around to listening to it, and I feel Stevens has a real knack for presenting a murder mystery as a tutorial for readers new to the genre.  Some of the themes would appear to be inappropriate for young readers (infidelity, unmarried teacher having a baby - around WWI, adoption of said baby, teen suicide, and of course murder) but they are handled simply and without unnecessarily gory details.  At present, one of my more mature 11yo students is reading this, on the understanding that she will return it if anything is too confronting.  I'm curious as to what she will think.
