5.0

This hilarious novel was a joyous ride from start to finish. The story opens with a double murder, after which we get to know the seven distinct characters in the scandalous sisterhood on Prickwillow Rd. These girls are plucky, smart, and have you rooting for their mad plan of hiding their headmistress's untimely death. A charming murder mystery, this novel has all the structure of the genre with new and quirky twists. I would highly recommend it to any fans of Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmes. A fantastically fun read.
