Well-Schooled in Murder by Elizabeth George
4.0
Book 3 of Inspector Lynley series.
A repeat read, this time in audio.
I am addicted to this Elizabeth George police procedural series, which focuses on the murder committed as well as the private life of the investigators, which I wanted to follow for long (and which somewhat seems akin to a soap opera)
This time Lynley's childhood friend, John Hart wants him to go looking for a boy missing from the prestigious boarding school in which he is an English teacher, plus a house master. John has some culpability as he didn't take care of his duties that week.
Lynley reluctantly agreeable and by the time they reach the school they find that the 13 year old boy, Mathew Wakely is dead.
The whole school and its inmates are in scrutiny and dirty secrets tumble our with alarming frequency. No one is spared including pupils, teachers, headmaster, other workers and even board of governors members.
Finally the matter is solved. Astonishing facts about Matthew's parentage and the way he got enrolled in this prestigious school pop out.
There was exposure to bullying, child pornography and many unsavory things which usually remain hidden behind massive doors of great institutions.
This left me with a scary feel and I am thankful that Indian parents are not that keen on boarding schools.
