The Murders at Fleat House: A compelling mystery from the author of the million-copy bestselling The Seven Sisters series

Product Information

Additional tension from bullying, allegiances, privilege, power, deception, betrayal, lies, the rumour mill and even ghost stories extend the conjecture element of this tale. We pay our respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. Lucinda Riley wrote the manuscript back in 2006, and even though The Murders at Fleat House did utilise cell phones and modern technology, it was few and far in between, giving this murder mystery a timeless quality. Lengthy info dumps in the form of both unrealistic dialogue and just straight up small biographies of the characters.

The Murders at Fleat House by Lucinda Riley | Goodreads

La autora nos plantea el supuesto asesinato de un alumno en un prestigioso colegio donde los sospechosos son pocos pero todo señala a uno. I’m sure it will interest you to know that, at the time of writing, my family lived in the vast, mysterious landscape in which the story is set. Jazz's gut tells her that all these incidents are connected but putting it all together is like doing a jigsaw puzzle with no picture and no edge pieces. Reunited with her loyal sergeant, she enters the closed world of the school and begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish’s tragic death. A far cry from the blood-soaked, carved-up-bodies style of crime mystery, The Murders at Fleat House is a clever, carefully created police investigation in the classic tradition… big on genuine clues and subtle misdirection, featuring a long list of fascinating suspects, and peopled by the exquisitely real and fleshed-out characters that we have come to expect from Riley’s imagination.With some gritty topics tackled, a sprinkling of romance, and the seductive landscape of Norfolk’s big skies, vast vistas, flat marshlands and coastal beauty forming a stunning backdrop, this is a thrilling whodunit for crime fans, and another Lucinda Riley legacy to treasure. Lucinda touched the lives of all those she met, and those who turned the pages of her books – of whom there are many.

Closing the door quietly and switching on the light, the figure was aware almost immediately of the ingrained, musty smell of unwashed socks, sweat and raging hormones which had, over the years, permeated every nook and cranny of Fleat House. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.
