All of the eccentric characters have interesting nicknames and are usually up to something. I loved it even though there wasn't a murder in sight.

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... No library descriptions found. |

When I saw Dastardly Deeds at St Bride’s on Netgalley, it was the title that attracted me to it but it was the eccentric and mostly likeable characters that kept me reading. It’s a fun fast cozy and I couldn’t put it down. Loved it! ( )
