I heard about this series from the Shedunnit podcast, and when this title was part of an Audible offer I thought I'd try it.
This is a boarding school mystery set in 1930s England. A bit more depth is provided by the narrator being a Chinese girl from Hong Kong. We see the challenges that she has to negotiate to become accepted.
The mystery was satisfying and the investigation didn't seem too unrealistic. I enjoyed the frequent references to golden age mysteries that the girls were reading.
