High Marks for Murder

The first book in the fabulous Bellehaven Mystery Series by Kate Kingsbury, the bestselling author of the Pennyfoot Hotel Mysteries!
Wacky students, intriguing mystery and a despairing ghost – it’s all in a day’s work at Bellehaven House.
It is the height of women’s suffrage in Edwardian England, and Meredith Llewellyn, headmistress of Bellehaven House Finishing School, has her hands full trying to turn rebellious, over-priviliged tomboys into graceful and accomplished young ladies. Her task is decidedly complicated by the ghosts of murdered victims who insist on her helping them bring their killers to justice. Watch the fun as Meredith does her best to keep her ghost-sleuthing a secret from her wayward charges, while trying to convince her fellow teachers that she’s not insane.
Lovers of Agatha Christie’s books will find much to enjoy in this tale of intrigue and laughter in an Edwardian English village, and Emily Brightwell fans will love this book’s offbeat characters and their intriguing adventures at a finishing school for young ladies.
HIGH MARKS FOR MURDER
When a teacher is killed by a falling tree branch, the local police constable rules it an accident. Meredith, however, suspects the branch had been sawn off. She’s further convinced when, much to her discomfort, the victim’s ghost confronts her, trying desperately to give her a message. Meredith has to enlist the help of her skeptical fellow teachers in order to unravel the clues and find her friend’s murderer.
