Dastardly Deeds at St Bride's: The first in an addictive cozy mystery series from Debbie Young

Written by Debbie Young

Narrated by Laura Kirman

For anyone who loved St Trinian’s – old or new – or read Malory Towers as a kid. St Brides is the perfect read for you.

When Gemma Lamb takes a job at a quirky English girls’ boarding school, she believes she’s found the perfect escape route from her controlling boyfriend – until she discovers the rest of the staff are hiding sinister secrets:

• Hairnet, the eccentric headmistress who doesn't hold with academic qualifications

• Oriana Bliss, Head of Maths and master of disguise

• Joscelyn Spryke, the suspiciously rugged Head of PE

• Geography teacher Mavis Brook, surreptitiously selling off the library books

• creepy night watchman Max Security, with his network of hidden tunnels

Even McPhee, the school cat, is leading a double life.

Tucked away in the school’s beautiful private estate in the Cotswolds, can Gemma stay safe and build a new independent future, or will past secrets catch up with her and the rest of the staff?

With a little help from her new friends, including some wise pupils, she's going to give it her best shot...
