I was glad to see the girls back at school after their sojourn in Hong Kong in book six and their spell at the theatre in book seven (always enjoy a good girls' school story) and the young person I bought this book for was intrigued from beginning to end. Yet another wonderful Hazel and Daisy murder mystery (this is the eighth in the series) where, as usual, we see the two girls complementing each other well, with Daisy being the more daring and intuitive of the duo and Hazel being the more cautious and practical however, this story (like its two predecessors) continues to show Hazel becoming more confident in herself, and we also see the other members of the Secret Detective Society taking more of a role in the story. It is the end of the summer term and parents and trustees of the school are arriving in their dozens for the end of term festivities - who were the couple in the woods? Were they parents? Were they trustees of the school? And if there was a murder, where is the body? Hazel and Daisy are convinced there has been a foul deed committed, but how can they prove it to the police? And when another murder takes place at the school, the two girls and their fellow Detective Society members, are determined to solve the case - even if it means putting their own lives in danger. Amateur detectives Hazel Wong and Daisy Wells are back at Deepdean School for this murder mystery story, where we find one of the newer members of the Secret Detective Society witnessing what she thinks is a man strangling a woman in the woods in the school grounds.
