Sinister Stranger at St Bride's by Debbie Young

Sinister Stranger at St Bride's by Debbie Young

'A delight from start to finish' Juliette Lawson

When an American stranger turns up claiming to be the rightful owner of the school’s magnificent country estate it could spell trouble for everyone at St Bride’s...

No one can believe it when the headmistress, Hairnet, instantly accepts the stranger’s claim, not:

• the put-upon Bursar, ousted from his cosy estate cottage by the stranger

• the enigmatic Max Security, raring to engage in a spot of espionage

• the sensible Judith Gosling, who knows more about Lord Bunting than she’s letting on

• the irrepressible Gemma Lamb, determined to keep the school open

Only fickle maths teacher Oriana Bliss isn’t suspicious of the stranger, after all she can just marry him and secure St Bride’s future forever. That's if inventive pranks by the girls - and the school cat - don't drive him away first.

Who will nab the stranger first? Oriana with the parson’s noose? Gemma with sinister secrets? Or could this be the end of St Bride’s?

For anyone who loved St Trinian’s – old or new – or loves a cozy mystery on a grand estate filled with rather ‘interesting’ characters.
