If you’re looking for a cozy mystery that can keep you guessing until the end, then look no further than J. I more or less fathomed out the guilty party early on, but it did not play out precisely as I had imagined it would either, which I was more or less happy about.M Hall is an excellent cozy mystery that will keep readers guessing until the end while also providing some thought-provoking commentary on educational systems today. It covers how educational systems have become focused on money instead of children, which highlights how important it is for us all to remember that education should always be about helping children learn and grow rather than just making money off them or treating them as numbers on a spreadsheet.

This time around I didn’t guess who was behind it all, and I did last time so I was expecting to be able to crack it! Those are the obvious questions but, as Pat reminds her friends, Liz and Thelma, the questions in the rhyme they all taught to their pupils also contains, How? Thelma, Liz and Pat our trusted group of retired schoolteachers are, once again, pulled into a mystery that needs solving. I also enjoy some contemporary fiction, literary fiction and romance with a smattering of non-fiction. A gently quirky cosy mystery with plenty of twists and turns, and an intriguing cast of characters - some endearing, some not so much!For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password.

As it is still close to their hearts, it does not stop Liz, Pat and Thelma from caring about what goes on there. How” is easy, the letters are computer typed and printed on the school’s stationary; “Where” is also easy, they turn up in various locations within the school, “When” is more complicated, the first one was found during the setting up for the Summer Fayre, the last event of that academic year, all the rest turn up individually during the first term of the next academic year. The three friends decide to take matters into their own hands, despite the protestations of family members.
