Publisher's Summary

The Murders at Fleat House is a suspenseful and utterly compelling crime novel from the author of the multimillion-selling The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley.

The sudden death of a pupil in Fleat House at St Stephen’s–a small private boarding school in deepest Norfolk–is a shocking event that the headmaster is very keen to call a tragic accident.

But the local police cannot rule out foul play and the case prompts the return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine ‘Jazz’ Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss.

Reunited with her loyal sergeant, she enters the closed world of the school and, as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish’s tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.

Charlie is exposed as an arrogant bully, and those around him had both motive and opportunity to switch the drugs he took daily to control his epilepsy.

As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of a young pupil and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . .

Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined . . .

So sad there is only one of this series… so it’s not a series

Well I’m sure this author was wonderful and her death is tragic… having said that, and not wishing to be base… I do wish she’d written more. I loved the protagonist, Jazz, and her team. It was a well thought out story and well written, far superior to many of its ilk.

Another great listen

I was devastated as a reader and listener of Lucinda Riley, to hear in the opening words of this book by her son, that she had passed at such a young age.
I loved this novel just as much as the Seven Sisters Series and look forward to the final Novel in the series, Pa Salt.

Absolutely wonderful!

This book had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It's such a shame that there will be no more detective novels from this late author. I can't recommend this book enough!
The narrator, Gemma Whelan, reads it beautifully and there are lots of twists and turns to keep the reader interested. I think it's a book that will stay with me for quite a while. Very believable.
I now look forward to listening to other books by the late Lucinda Riley.
