💥It is the fourth book in the Gemma Lamb Cozy Mystery series by the author. Though I did not read any other books in the series, I did not have any issue in understanding the plot. Thus, it can also be read as a stand alone. I really loved the setting of the story, which gives an idea about the life at a boarding school both for the teachers and the students. The picturesque description of the landscape and the old school building was mesmerizing. The mystery element and the way everything turned out at the end deserves praise.
💥Gemma Lamb is the narrator and the protagonist of the story. She teaches English in the school and is in a relationship with Joe, the sports teacher. Though it's not been a year that she has joined the school, she has helped in solving other mysteries related to this school with her wit. This time too, she tries to unearth the mystery revolving around Freida with a bit of help from a friend and her colleagues.
💥I love cozy mysteries and this was not an exception. There is suspense, romance , humour and many other things that one can ask for. So, mystery lovers can definitely check this out.
I would like to thank the author, publisher and NetGalley for the DRC.

This was a really fun cozy mystery. It’s part of a series, but I haven’t read any of the previous books and now I want to because I enjoyed this one so much. Very enjoyable.
