BLOOD ON THE WOOD by GILLIAN LINSCOTT
|
SummaryAfter three years of traipsing across Europe with her
lovesick, widowed mother, Nell Bray has finally found her
way to Oxford University. There she has befriended the
beautiful Imogen and the charming Midge. When the three girls decide to accept an invitation by
their male classmates to join a reading party in the
country during vacation - accompanied by a dashing
philosophy don with a reputation for stirring up trouble -
they go against what is quickly becoming the obsolete
conventions of the nineteenth-century. Once they arrive in the country, they are greeted by the
unpleasant fact that their host has been accused of murder
when a local boy is missing. Rather than return home,
however, the six students and their mentor decide to put
down their books and put their intellectual prowess to the
test by solving the mystery. This combination of mystery and learning - with some
college crushes and loves along the way - makes Dead Man
Riding Gillian Linscott's best mystery to date.
