And now the Year Seven School Mums' WhatsApp Group really do have something to talk about...Clare Withoutani: OMG have you heard about Newhall?!!!Becky Rupertsmum: Helen-Louise just texted. Can't believe it.Asha: Not heard anything. What's happened?Pam Geoffreysmum: What's he done this time? They're going co-ed, aren't they? I knew this would happen.Clare Withoutani: Can't believe it, Becky. I'm in shock.Pam Geoffreysmum: Are we going co-ed?Becky Rupertsmum: No, Pam. Newhall died.Pam Geoffreysmum: Oh GOD. Seriously??!! Can't believe it. So sad. He'll be such a loss to the school. The boys will be devastated. Will the school be offering grief counselling?Rose Oliversmum: Anyone know what pages they're meant to do for chemistry? Ollie's homework diary says 'do questions 1-4' but no page numbers!As the resulting police investigation reveals more and more of Aberfal's long-hidden secrets the list of suspects who wanted the headmaster dead grows by the day. And far from being a glittering jewel of exclusivity and excellence, it would appear Aberfal Boys High School is rotten to its core...'A superb mystery with perfectly drawn characters, plenty of twists and turns, and a suffocating school experience that ultimately, even inevitably leads to murder' Katy Watson, author of The Three Dahlias
