The Murders at Fleat House is a gripping murder mystery, full of suspense. Fleat House is at St. Stephens, a private boarding school. The murder of a pupil is shocking and terrifying for the community, including the students and teachers.
At first the death is considered to be an accident, but police were not so sure, and started an investigation, headed by Detective Inspector Jazmin Hunter who had recently resigned from the force. She agrees to return for this case only, as it occurred close to where she now lives.
As important leads are uncovered, they seem to make things more complicated until a discovery at the school causes further complications.

This is a totally intriguing police proceedural crime novel, that I found difficult to put down. This book was a real page turner with unexpected cliff hangers. There were many twists and turns that couldn’t be foreseen, and I had no idea at all who the murderer was, until the very end.
I enjoyed the character of the Detective Inspector, who was very real and believable. I found the police proceedural part of the story more than interesting. The characters and conflicts added to the story of the murders.
A few characters in this story appeared in a previous novel about the author, which I have not read, but this novel is stand alone and doesn’t rely on the story line of the previous novel.
The author, Lucinda Riley died in 2021. The Murders at Fleat House was written in 2006, but had never been published. Her son published it posthumously.
