Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A wonderful satire and pretty good mystery.
Review: Robert Barnard is that rarity: one who writes mystery novels that may be better as novels than as mysteries.

This is an example of his early style: elegant, witty, epigrammatic, but extremely insightful.

I taught in a private school very much like the one described in this book, and Barnard's picture is dazzling in its accuracy and devastating in its satire. His command of personalities and politics and teacher/student relations is perfect.

Recommended for any lover of good writing, bad schools, and great mysteries.
