Top Marks For Murder

The brilliant new mystery from the bestselling, award-winning author of Murder Most Unladylike.

Daisy and Hazel are finally back at Deepdean, and the school is preparing for a most exciting event: the fiftieth Anniversary.

Plans for a weekend of celebrations are in full swing. But all is not well, for in the detectives' long absence, Deepdean has changed. Daisy has lost her crown to a fascinating new girl - and many of the Detective Society's old allies are now their sworn enemies.

Then the girls witness a shocking incident in the woods close by - a crime that they're sure is linked to the Anniversary. As parents descend upon Deepdean, decades-old grudges, rivalries and secrets begin to surface, and soon Deepdean's future is at stake.

Can the girls solve the case - and save their home?

Reviews

Riotously retro

—— Financial Times

Fun escapism

—— Sunday Times

A glorious slice of fantastical escapism

—— BookTrust

Fully-rounded characters that young readers will recognise and engage with. The dialogue is number 1 haircut grade sharp - it powers the story along and is full of witty, entertaining banter. Perfect for the middle-grade reader. A joy to read.

—— Alex Wheatle, author of Crongton Knights

Jackson's voice is distinct and original, while her deft characterisation and evocation of place make for a funny, engaging modern mystery.

—— Guardian
