A review by quietjenn
Death of an Old Girl by Elizabeth Lemarchand

3.0

A pretty solid, 60s era procedural, set at a girls boarding school. This is the firs in the series and there's enough potential that I downloaded the second book upon finishing. Curious to see how the characters of the central detectives are build out - at this point there's little that really distinguishes them, but I think there's potential to be interesting. The mystery itself is fine. I definitely figured out the culprit and some of the finer points far in advance of revelation and there were a few bits that felt very of it's time. It's not one I'd rush to recommend, but if you're a fan of the genre, there are far worse options out there.
