A headmistress is dead. The circumstances are suspicious.
And as every parent knows, being on the school group chat can be murder…
‘Deliciously funny’ MARTINA COLE
‘Pure fun in book form, a laugh out loud murder mystery with great characters and a page turning plot. It’s a book you won’t be able to put down!’ C L MILLER
As educators go, Claudia Stitchwell makes Miss Hannigan look like Miss Honey.
But when the reviled headteacher drops dead in the school hall, a group of sceptical parents suspect the nut allergy explanation doesn’t add up – they believe someone wanted to teach Miss Stitchwell a lesson.
Only four people could have killed Stitchwell: Hattie, the adored school cook; Kiera, the hard-working teaching assistant; Clive, the loathed school bursar and Ben, the popular deputy head. All of them are liars… but only one is the murderer.
Piecing together evidence from the daily drama and drudgery of the parents’ group chat, local press, police reports, school newsletters, and good, old-fashioned gossip, the determined detective parents are doing their homework to crack the case.
Will you spot the clues? Can you deduce whodunnit? And for the love of all things holy, does anyone have this week’s spellings?
‘A hilarious whodunit filled with so much heart, and a cast characters you’ll love to pieces but suspect of doing a murder all at once’ KATE WESTON

Laugh-out-loud hilarious, moving and life affirming. How can one book be so many things? I couldn't put this fabulous, first class, five star read down.
A very different take on a whodunnit. Warm, wacky and witty. I loved it!
Clever, wise and properly funny. An absolute triumph
Thoroughly wicked, compulsively page-turning, and funny as hell.
Splendidly offbeat whodunnit....Evans knows how to make an unlikely plot seem entirely believable.
A triumph...there are also moving moments amid the hilarity
Sometimes a book comes along that reminds you why you fell in love with reading. Imaginative, witty and original...an absolute joy!
A really entertaining read that will appeal to fans of Richard Osman
Clever, multilayered and a joy!
Pure fun in book form, a laugh out loud murder mystery with great characters and a page turning plot. It's a book you won't be able to put down - especially if you belong to a parents WhatsApp group!
