Dastardly Deeds at St Bride's Publisher's Summary

'A delight from start to finish' Juliette Lawson

When Gemma Lamb takes a job at a quirky English girls’ boarding school, she believes she’s found the perfect escape route from her controlling boyfriend – until she discovers the rest of the staff are hiding sinister secrets.

  • Hairnet, the eccentric headmistress who doesn't hold with academic qualifications

  • Oriana Bliss, Head of Maths and master of disguise

  • Joscelyn Spryke, the suspiciously rugged Head of PE

  • Geography teacher Mavis Brook, surreptitiously selling off the library books

  • Creepy night watchman Max Security, with his network of hidden tunnels

  • Even McPhee, the school cat, is leading a double life.

Tucked away in the school’s beautiful private estate in the Cotswolds, can Gemma stay safe and build a new independent future, or will past secrets catch up with her and the rest of the staff?

With a little help from her new friends, including some wise pupils, she's going to give it her best shot...

For anyone who loved St Trinian’s – old or new – or read Malory Towers as a kid. St Bride's is the perfect read for you.
