Well-Schooled in Murder

The third novel in the bestselling series that inspired BBC’s Lynley

The quiet, confident atmosphere of Bredgar Chambers School is shattered by the discovery of the body of one of its pupils in a country churchyard.

Who murdered the brilliant boy and why?
How did his body get from the school to the distant churchyard?
What other secrets are hidden behind the school gates?

Inspector Thomas Lynley and his partner, Barbara Havers, find their investigations hampered by the code of honour and loyalty that prevail in the old and distinguished public school. But they discover within the confines of this privileged community a culture of cruelty that stretches back across the generations.
