One of the more exciting Chalet School books. Fifty-second in the original hardback series, this volume was first published in 1964.
Flavia is the new girl sent to school, and as we quickly learn the reason is to keep her safe from a criminal who wants revenge on her stepfather. There's a gripping climax after an enjoyable book that was difficult to put down at times.
Inevitably dated, and one has to suspend reality here and there... but definitely recommended to fans of the series.
