Description
The peculiar death of an assistant matron at a distinguished boys school draws amateur sleuth Primrose Oughterard into another delightfully quirky mystery.
Erasmus House, a prestigious prep school for boys in Lewes, is in uncharacteristic disarray over a looming visit from Her Majestys inspectors. Convinced that inspectors dislike old-established schools, headmaster Mr Winchbrooke devises a cunning plan to drag Erasmus House into modernity - by replacing the rustic paintings of eccentric local artist and amateur sleuth, Primrose Oughterard, with more challenging abstract works.
But Primroses paintings are the least of Winchbrookes worries when the schools assistant matron, Miss Memling, is found dead in a Brighton hotel room, clutching an empty gin bottle. Was there more to dull Aida Memling than met the eye? As one of the schools trustees, Primrose springs into action. With her late brother Franciss pets Maurice and Bouncer by her side, can Primrose solve the Memling mystery?
