Author: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards
Published: March 9th 2015 by Bastei Entertainment
Format: Kindle, 103 pagess
Genre: Mystery
Series: Cherringham #13
First Sentence: Sophie White raced up the back stairs of Florence House, her footsteps on the worn stone echoing in the cold space as she climbed the three floors.
From the Publisher: When Jack and Sarah are called in to investigate mysterious pranks at an exclusive girls' private school, it seems at first that it might be the work of a few mean pupils with a grudge. But things quickly turn serious when a popular teacher meets a sudden, violent death. Now, with murder in the air, Jack and Sarah have their own lessons to learn about the Cherringham Girls School, its dark secrets... and who wanted that teacher dead before they learned the truth. (Goodreads)
My Opinion: The Cherringham series has turned into a hit or miss for me -- A Lesson in Murder was a hit. Thankfully, the ending was not apparent. The relationship between certain characters was not fully spelled out but hinted at, which allowed the reader to draw their conclusions.
Jack and Sarah are back to their old selves and have seemed to have figured out their relationship. I don’t know what the future holds, but I am good with where they are now.
For anyone not sure if this is the correct series for them, I would wholeheartedly encourage them. The short stories /novellas are a perfect break before jumping in a meatier book or just for those times where you want something brief and engaging. A story where the characters are steady, and the humor is just what you need.
