Helpful Score: 3
Very entertaining mystery -- Barnard is a great mystery writer, and you can't beat an English boys' school for a cozy murder.
Helpful Score: 1
The usual Barnard - sharp, witty, full of humor as well as crime. Malice in the dorms of the boys'school, faculty rivaly, and an incredibly naive headmaster add up to a delightful read. "Chills and chuckles" - San Diego Union from the cover.
Great story about a mystery in a below average "public" English school.
Like it, kind of enjoyed it but not as good as his Burler Mysteries!
Read about 30 pages, thought he was long-winded, decided I had other books I wanted to read more than I wanted to read this one.
