Death Comes to the School

Kurland St. Mary Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Catherine Lloyd

Narrated by: Cat Gould

Three years have passed since Major Sir Robert Kurland and Lucy Harrington, the rector's daughter, became husband and wife. Having established a measure of contentment among the local gentry, the couple lately have found an unsettling distance grown between them. But when peace in the small village is disrupted by an anonymous letter accusing Lucy of witchcraft, her unfulfilled desire to be a mother becomes the least of her worries, especially after she learns she is not the only one to have received such a malicious letter.

Speculation only escalates when the village schoolteacher, Miss Broomfield, is discovered murdered at her classroom desk. Was the unlikeable teacher the letter writer, and if so, who killed her and why? Despite her husband's objections, Lucy offers to help out at the school until a replacement can be found, hoping the children might inadvertently reveal a clue, but by doing so she may be putting her own life at risk...

Great

Really enjoyed and so glad Robert and Lucy got straightened out! Looking forward to more

Mayhap the author needs a thesaurus

Perhaps just don’t use an adverb at the beginning of a sentence. Perhaps it is not needed.

The voice of the elderly butler is painful through earbuds.

Otherwise, it is a decent addition to the series.
