Then there's a missing man or two, a missing child, another death, and a historical death. Jazz's gut tells her that all these incidents are connected but putting it all together is like doing a jigsaw puzzle with no picture and no edge pieces. For this reason, I wish to tell you how The Murders at Fleat House came to be. Firstly, although it has never seen the light of day, it was written in 2006. Once her youngest children had started school, Lucinda penned three novels without a publisher, two of which have subsequently been released to great acclaim – The Olive Tree (also called Helena’s Secret) and The Butterfly Room. It was always her plan to publish the third of these novels, The Murders at Fleat House , after the conclusion of The Seven Sisters series. ‘I felt that preserving Mum’s voice should take precedence’

Sí, sé que debes de estar poniendo los ojos en blanco y rezando a santa Cachucha en busca de la paciencia perdida que, por cierto, ande andará🤔, pero era necesario decirlo para poder gritar: ESTE LIBRO ME HA ENCANTADO😍! Riley, who died in July 2021 from cancer, penned The Murders at Fleat House when she was relatively unknown and trying to make her mark in the publishing world. Jazz is likeable and relatable, and her ex is a total tosser who irritated me, but his presence gave Jazz the closure she needed to move to the next chapter in her life! I only wish there was more, but the last chapter is a pretty good indicator as to how things will go for her. blogtour Adventure Ancient Egypt Art History Australia Book Blogger Bookliterati Book Recommendation Book review Christmas Contemporary Fiction Crime Del Rey Doubleday Emmeline Kirby and Gregory Longdon Mystery Fantasy Festive Reads Florence Folklore Harper Collins Historical Fiction History Independently Published Italy Karen Swan Literary Fiction Magic Mantle Books Melville House Murder Mystery Myth Orenda Books Pan Macmillan Penguin Random House Psychological thriller Romance Secrets Simon and Schuster Supernatural Suspense thriller Venice Women's Fiction Zaffre Books Book title Search for: Search Search Recent CommentsNovela escrita hace años por la autora y publicada de manera póstuma por su hijo. Para ser la primera y única novela policíaca escrita por ella, no está nada mal. In the case of The Olive Tree and The Butterfly Room, Lucinda undertook extensive rewrites (as any author revisiting a project after a decade would wish to). Mum has not had that opportunity in the case of The Murders at Fleat House. As such, I faced a quandary when taking the decision to release this book. Was it my responsibility to edit, adapt and update the text, as she would have wished to? After much contemplation, I felt that preserving Mum’s voice should take precedence. With this in mind, only the bare minimum editorial work has been undertaken. I personaggi sono abbastanza sviluppati e sopratutto mi è piaciuta molto la protagonista,Jaz,una donna forte, intelligente, molto reale anche negli errori che commette e da cui si rialza; tradita dal marito suo collega, ha deciso di mollare il lavoro in polizia, ma il capo decide di smuoverla e farla tornare in azione, essendo una detective talentosa e trovandosi anche nella zona del reato che sembra essere di secondo piano ma che si rivela invece un caso da primo piano In this latest novel by Riley, The Murders at Fleat House , she transports us to Norfolk, England, home to St. Stephen’s School, an elite boarding school that has all the usual fare, entitled students, unrelenting bullies, ghost stories, favouritism, and a history of scandals, violence, and death that may be about to repeat itself.

When staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of a young pupil and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads. But, while snow covers the landscape, a suspect goes missing. Fleat House – One of the eight boarding houses of St Stephen’s School. Old, dank, dark, eerie, and foreboding, its cellar is rumoured to be haunted by the ghost of a student who died tragically in 1979.Lo que más me ha gustado de este libro ha sido que apenas ha sido editado, es decir, que prácticamente uno está leyendo el manuscrito que un día esta autora escribió y nunca publicó. Y se nota. Se nota que apenas ha sido tocado por una editorial. Se nota en la falta de ambientación y en el desarrollo de personajes, y aun así ha sido un placer poder leer algo casi inédito. Jazz is a great character, and it saddens me to think she may not have more books. I love the multiple shades in her arc. First of all, I would like to thank the family of Lucinda Riley for deciding to release this forgotten work by the author without many editions. The author is a household name for fans of historical fiction, but The Murders At Fleat House is her first foray into crime fiction and it is so painful to know that she wouldn’t be able to continue writing this genre as her central protagonist DI Jazz Hunter seems like someone who needs a series by her own. Essentially Lucinda Riley’s historical fiction always carries a thread of mystery intertwined thru its story, the few books I have read had a dual timeline narrative added to the bargain providing a new dimension to the unraveling of the family dynamics at the end. As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly Classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . . Reunited with her loyal Sergeant, Alastair Miles, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish’s tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.
