I thought this was a great historical mystery. I enjoyed the ghost narrator and the setting of a girls' boarding school forced to wait out the war in a crumbling mansion far away from the London Blitz. The shift in the school's curriculum—from traditionally feminine subjects like Art and Embroidery to more academic ones like Latin and Mathematics—was particularly interesting. Taylor set the tone well for this slow-burning mystery —it feels authentically 1940s. Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins Canada for this ARC.
