Fleat House – One of the eight boarding houses of St Stephen’s School. Old, dank, dark, eerie, and foreboding, its cellar is rumoured to be haunted by the ghost of a student who died tragically in 1979. Lucinda Riley was a born storyteller and will be sadly missed; her books will keep her memory alive for her readers. Esta historia la escribió en 2006 y ha sido recuperada por su hijo junto con otras dos. Una pena que no la publicara antes y que no haya escrito nada más de este género. Thank you, NetGalley and AuthorBuzz, for the eARC. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book. A very good mystery! The author entwined excellently the suspects and their connections with the past and what motive each could have with the murders!

Primer libro que leo de esta autora, el único que escribió de esta temática y publicado póstumamente por su hijo. Y me ha gustado, está realmente bien. Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in England, in 2015 Lucinda fulfilled her dream of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were written. Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died in June 2021. Delitti a Fleat House è un titolo azzeccato perché la storia ruota tutta intorno alla costruzione adibita a dormitorio di questa scuola esclusiva nella periferia inglese. Un ragazzino viene trovato morto per aver ingerito delle aspirine a cui era allergico, sembra un atto voluto ma qualcosa stona... The compelling mystery thriller takes place at a small private boarding school in Norfolk, St Stephens. Then there's a missing man or two, a missing child, another death, and a historical death. Jazz's gut tells her that all these incidents are connected but putting it all together is like doing a jigsaw puzzle with no picture and no edge pieces.Daily Mail This is a thrilling whodunit for crime fans, and another Lucinda Riley legacy to treasure The paramedic rules it as an accident and the headmaster is keen to sweep the incident under the carpet and avoid a media frenzy.
Lucinda Riley’s son, Harry Whittaker, on how The Murders at
Overall it was a pretty disppointing read and it´s such a shame with how good the idea of the book seemed to be. This is a very enjoyable police procedural set in North Norfolk. It would make a great start to a series but unfortunately Lucinda Riley, best known for her historical fiction, sadly died last year and this was published posthumously with the help of her son. 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. 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. Best known for her epic The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley is not an author you associate with crime fiction. However, The Murders at Fleat House represents the author’s first foray in this category of fiction. I was incredibly excited and grateful to publisher to receive this book for review. I’ve loved Lucinda Riley’s work for over ten years now, so the opportunity to read a new book from this treasured author in wake on her loss last year was very much appreciated on my part.Riley, who died in July 2021 from cancer, penned The Murders at Fleat House when she was relatively unknown and trying to make her mark in the publishing world. At a prestigious private school in the Norfolk countryside, a six-former, Charlie Cavendish has been found dead in Fleat House. At first glance his death is ruled accidental – the result of an epileptic fit. Until it is discovered that the Epilim pills Charlie took to control his epilepsy had been replaced by aspirin, a medication Charlie was deadly allergic to – a fact that was well known among the staff and pupils of St Stephen’s. Due to Charlie’s unlikeable, spoiled, smarmy nature, and the fact that he had a reputation as the school bully, means the suspect list is endless. I absolutely love Lucinda Riley’s work but I’m not entirely convinced that I enjoyed The Murders at Fleat House as much as I’d hoped. However, it is a great gift to Lucinda Riley fans in the wake of her sad passing. 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 . . .
The Murders at Fleat House: A compelling mystery from the
After much contemplation, I felt that preserving Mum’s voice should take precedence. With this in mind, only the bare minimum editorial work has been undertaken. Aunque no cumple todos los requisitos para ser un “cozy mistery” ya que la investigadora pertenece a la policía y aunque hay amor, la dosis es muy leve, para mi encaja en este término. Es un asesinato limpio, nada de escenas gores ni escabrosas, muy al estilo Ágata Christie. For this reason, I wish to tell you how The Murders at Fleat House came to be. Firstly, although it has never seen the light of day, it was written in 2006. Once her youngest children had started school, Lucinda penned three novels without a publisher, two of which have subsequently been released to great acclaim – The Olive Tree (also called Helena’s Secret) and The Butterfly Room. It was always her plan to publish the third of these novels, The Murders at Fleat House , after the conclusion of The Seven Sisters series. ‘I felt that preserving Mum’s voice should take precedence’ As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons...La autora nos plantea el supues 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… I've loved the Seven Sisters from the get-go and this latest in the series is just as great as the rest . . .
