Seven very proper young Victorian ladies conspire to hide a murder from the authorities at their boarding school.
Quick Summary
Set in a strict Victorian boarding school, the story follows seven impeccably behaved girls who stumble upon a murder and decide, for the sake of their reputations and the safety of their friends, to keep it secret from the authorities. The humor comes from their attempts to act like perfect ladies while secretly plotting and scheming, and each character brings a distinct, funny voice that makes the sisterhood feel alive. If you enjoy clever mysteries with a dash of period charm, you'll love how the girls outsmart the adults and create a wild plan that's both daring and hilarious. Fans of historical fiction and comedic adventures like The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place will find this book especially appealing. Parents can rest assured the murder is handled lightly and the focus stays on friendship, ingenuity, and the absurdity of Victorian social expectations, making it a fun, fast-paced read for kids who like a good laugh and a solid mystery.
