England, May 1945





Monkshill Park School for Girls seems a world away from the violence that engulfed Europe during World War II. Yet its lonely, decaying grounds have witnessed a murder.



Annabel Warnock, a teacher with a secretive past, left for the holidays and never came back. Both teachers and girls assume she simply walked out, but the truth is quite different. Her body tumbled from the Maidens Leap, a viewpoint on the clifftop Gothic Walk, and was washed out to sea.



But Annabel herself is still trapped at Monkshill, unable to move on. As she haunts the grounds and school, she discovers a hidden world students, staff and servants are riven with deadly rivalries and dangerous tensions.



And one of them is her killer

Recenzijas

A wonderfully unique novel from the master of historical crime fiction. Beautiful, haunting, and quite brilliant -- Laura Shepherd-Robinson A grand piece of work a triumph and one of Taylors best -- Mick Herron This ticked all the boxes for me. As good as Id expect from a master of the craft -- Val McDermid A heady mix of murder, intrigue, and a supernatural interlocutor. Taylors prose is characteristically fluid, his ability to conjure empathy for his cast both real and spectral wonderfully perceptive, and the plot itself gripping in the very best traditions of mystery writing. A thorough delight from start to finish -- Vaseem Khan An engrossing, eerie and erudite page turner which maintains the suspense until the very end I defy anyone not to enjoy this captivating whodunnit! -- SW Perry A Schooling in Murder captures the period brilliantly and what a loveable main character a total delight -- Leonora Nattrass Beguiling -- Douglas Skelton This most unusual murder mystery in which the reader is aligned with the murder victim after her death is an absolute triumph. Andrew Taylor turns the conventions of mystery stories on their head to explore secrets hidden just beneath the surface within a closed community. A Schooling in Murder is clever, tender and utterly haunting. -- Tim Major Andrew Taylor re-invents the classic crime story with the dark aplomb of a modern master -- S.G. MacLean A Schooling in Murder is a clever, distinctive, and beautifully written mystery from a crime writer who is top of the class -- Martin Edwards An ingenious and intriguing homage to the golden age of crime fiction A Schooling in Murder is both wryly beguiling and steeped in atmospheric tension. I could not put it down -- Essie Fox Taylor evokes beautifully the tawdry atmosphere, the cast of misfits and the relationships and love affairs that must be hidden, with a lightness of touch that belies the deeper tragic elements of the story. This is a novel of immense charm -- Elizabeth Freemantle Crime fiction has a new superstar: Annabel Warnock is simply the best narrator I have read in a long time. Acerbic, inquisitive, irrepressible It hardly matters that she's dead, although of course it matters very much in the plot. This is a splendidly lively and richly entertaining novel. I adored it -- Sarah Hilary The master of historical crime fiction is back and he's on top form. Taylor has reinvented the classic crime story to create a riveting WWII mystery set within a secretive school amid deadly rivalries. Brilliantly eery and suspenseful. A triumph -- Anna Mazzola An absolute masterpiece of rising tension * Mirror * A Schooling in Murder turns the country house mystery inside out with wit and wisdom. Ten out of ten. * The Times *
