The first book in a new murder-mystery school series set at Mayfield Academy from Sophie McKenzie, the bestselling author of million-copy-seller, Girl Missing.
It's a week into the summer term, the last day of April, and murder is the last thing on my mind . . .
Life at Mayfield Academy seems normal enough - that is until Georgia discovers the drama teacher, dead, in the school library. Then, when she goes back to look for him, having gone for help, his body has vanished.
Georgia knows what she saw, but only her best friend Billy believes her.
Determined to find out what has gone on, Georgia and Billy hunt for evidence with new girl, Wren. But with friendship dynamics also at play there's a lot more at stake than dead bodies. And it's not long before it becomes clear that someone is prepared to go to any lengths to stop their investigation . . .
