England, May 1945

In the last days of World War II, Monkshill Park School for Girls stands far apart from the violence in Europe. Yet a woman has been murdered in its grounds.

Annabel Warnock, a teacher with a secretive past, has disappeared. The teachers and girls whisper that she’s run away, but in fact she has met a violent end.

Replacement tutor and amateur crime writer Alec Shaw arrives to find a school riven with bitter rivalries and dangerous tensions. He begins to suspect there is a real-life mystery waiting to be solved… and these echoing halls hide a killer.

Ce que les critiques en disent

A wonderfully unique novel from the master of historical crime fiction. Beautiful, haunting, and quite brilliant

(Laura Shepherd-Robinson)

A grand piece of work – a triumph and one of Taylor’s best

(Mick Herron)

This ticked all the boxes for me. As good as I’d expect from a master of the craft

(Val McDermid)

A heady mix of murder, intrigue, and a supernatural interlocutor. Taylor’s prose is characteristically fluid, his ability to conjure empathy for his cast – both real and spectral – wonderfully perceptive, and the plot itself gripping in the very best traditions of mystery writing. A thorough delight from start to finish

(Vaseem Khan)

An engrossing, eerie and erudite page turner which maintains the suspense until the very end … I defy anyone not to enjoy this captivating whodunnit!

(SW Perry)

A Schooling in Murder captures the period brilliantly and what a loveable main character– a total delight

(Leonora Nattrass)

Beguiling

(Douglas Skelton)

This most unusual murder mystery – in which the reader is aligned with the murder victim after her death – is an absolute triumph. Andrew Taylor turns the conventions of mystery stories on their head to explore secrets hidden just beneath the surface within a closed community. A Schooling in Murder is clever, tender and utterly haunting.

(Tim Major)

Andrew Taylor re-invents the classic crime story with the dark aplomb of a modern master

(S.G. MacLean)

A Schooling in Murder is a clever, distinctive, and beautifully written mystery from a crime writer who is top of the class

(Martin Edwards)

An ingenious and intriguing homage to the golden age of crime fiction – A Schooling in Murder is both wryly beguiling and steeped in atmospheric tension. I could not put it down

(Essie Fox)

Taylor evokes beautifully the tawdry atmosphere, the cast of misfits and the relationships and love affairs that must be hidden, with a lightness of touch that belies the deeper tragic elements of the story. This is a novel of immense charm

(Elizabeth Freemantle)

Crime fiction has a new superstar: Annabel Warnock is simply the best narrator I have read in a long time. Acerbic, inquisitive, irrepressible … It hardly matters that she's dead, although of course it matters very much in the plot. This is a splendidly lively and richly entertaining novel. I adored it

Also I couldn’t always discern who was speaking as the narrator wasn’t distinct enough. It’s alright.

It’s not my favourite of Taylor’s.
