When the headmistress of St. Etheldreda's School for Young Ladies falls down dead at Sunday dinner, her pupils are most put out. It really would inconvenience the seven young ladies in her care to return to their families now they have formed an alliance at Prickwillow Place. At home, Disgraceful Mary Jane would be kept under lock and key by her parents, Dear Roberta would be at the mercy of her stepmother's Victorian strictures and Smooth Kitty would once again be invisible, the unwanted daughter of a mill-owner. So the girls opt to hide their headmistress's death and take charge of their lifestyle and education. But this is easier said than done in late nineteenth-century England, where neighbours love to pry. And when the girls deduce that their headmistress was poisoned - by her Sunday veal! - they realize there is also a murderer on the loose ...A wonderful mix of farce and friendship starring seven fun female protagonists in this refreshing new drama from Carnegie-nominated author Julie Berry.
