A Schooling in Murder
What you need to know before your trail
Monkshill Park School for Girls seems a world away from the violence that engulfed Europe during World War II. Yet its lonely, decaying grounds have witnessed a murder.
Annabel Warnock, a teacher with a secretive past, left for the holidays and never came back. Both teachers and girls assume she simply walked out, but the truth is quite different. Her body tumbled from the Maiden’s Leap, a viewpoint on the clifftop Gothic Walk, and was washed out to sea.
But Annabel herself is still trapped at Monkshill, unable to move on. As she haunts the grounds and school, she discovers a hidden world – students, staff and servants are riven with deadly rivalries and dangerous tensions.
And one of them is her killer…
Travel Guide
Piercefield and Monkshill Park
The author says:
“Monkshill Park began with a real place. It’s called Piercefield. Three hundred years ago, it consisted of a Welsh mansion surrounded by a substantial park to the north of Chepstow. It’s bounded to the east by a perciptious descent to a loop of the River Wye. Beyond the river lies England.
