I really liked the ending of this novel. What a surprise. And I´m happy that Gwyneth got her moment to shine.
But as for the rest of the novel, I´m not a big fan. The plot was all over the place and I don´t think that the girls were needed to solve the mystery around the bursar´s death. I enjoyed the story much more when it was centered around the Inspector, unfortunately Hay only began focusing on him towards the end.
I liked this more than "Murder Underground", though, and thankfully there wasn´t a lot of Basil in this novel.
We could argue about the strong female lead characters (they were more stupid than strong), but this book will do the trick for this card.
