Reviews for Death of a Schoolgirl

[Lisa Moriah Chenthitta · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A fun romp. At times tips a bit too modern for the time period and setting but … given how hard a work like this is to pull off (when a famous literary character and world are involved), my hat is still off to the author for this achievement. Looking forward to more!

Narrator has a soothing voice. Easy listening. I didn't know who was guilty until very end! Complicated plots. Kept my interest.

I enjoy a cozy mystery, and this was exceptional. I never knew King
George IV was such a despicable human being.
