I always enjoy a good mystery and this one was very appealing to me because it takes place in a school. I taught for over three decades and although there were some mysteries here and there, we never had an actual murder at school. Armitage Academy is not a public school. It is a very prestigious boarding school with a long history. Madeline is teaching English at the school for one year (thanks to some string-pulling by her sister who is an alum of the school). Along with the teaching there are other duties - including supervising (and living in) one of the dorms. The end of the school year is in sight when the unthinkable happens. One of Madeline's 'charges', Claire, is found dead in her dorm room. The school is thrown into chaos and the mystery grows when it is determined that Claire had recently given birth - and there is no baby in sight. Except for a small group of girls, no one had even noticed that Claire was pregnant. Now they are looking for a murderer and a baby. Madeline tries to help by talking to some of the students and she uncovers a secret society - could they be responsible for what has happened? Do you really think I am going to tell you????
