It’s great to see boarding school stories making a comeback, and Esme Kerr is one of the best proponents of the format. When new girl Janet Stone arrives at Knight’s Haddon School, headmistress Miss Fotheringay asks Edie to look after her. But in a case of two’s company, three’s a crowd, this puts a strain on Edie’s friendship with Anastasia.
Janet’s certainly different to the other girls at the school, and being her friend gets Edie into all sorts of trouble. There are suspicious goings on at the school, while a band of aggressive eco-warriors have moved in to the local woods – could Janet somehow be involved with both? The mystery story is involving, and the depiction of the girls’ friendships and rivalries very well done indeed. ~ Andrea Reece
