Then a huge fight breaks out, sending guests fleeing. When Frankie, Jess and Sorcha go back to help Katie clear up her wrecked house before her parents get home, they find more than broken bottles … There’s a body on the living room floor.
There are 100 suspects, but only 1 killer. Can you work out what happened?
‘I really love the girls at Raven’s Hill School, it’s a big cast with a whole mix of personality types, girls who have come together from all over the world. Raven’s Hill is a girls’ boarding and day school in the fictional town of Kilmurray Point, with partner boys’ school, Raven’s Park College, providing much of the drama! I really hope readers can identify with the characters and enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed writing them.’ Sam Blake
