A wonderfully unique novel from the master of historical crime fiction. Beautiful, haunting, and quite brilliant -- Laura Shepherd-Robinson A grand piece of work – a triumph and one of Taylor’s best -- Mick Herron A heady mix of murder, intrigue, and a supernatural interlocutor. Taylor’s prose is characteristically fluid, his ability to conjure empathy for his cast – both real and spectral – wonderfully perceptive, and the plot itself gripping in the very best traditions of mystery writing. A thorough delight from start to finish -- Vaseem Khan An engrossing, eerie and erudite page turner which maintains the suspense until the very end … I defy anyone not to enjoy this captivating whodunnit! -- SW Perry A Schooling in Murder captures the period brilliantly and what a loveable main character– a total delight -- Leonora Nattrass Beguiling -- Douglas Skelton This most unusual murder mystery – in which the reader is aligned with the murder victim after her death – is an absolute triumph. Andrew Taylor turns the conventions of mystery stories on their head to explore secrets hidden just beneath the surface within a closed community. A Schooling in Murder is clever, tender and utterly haunting. -- Tim Major Andrew Taylor re-invents the classic crime story with the dark aplomb of a modern master -- S.G. MacLean A Schooling in Murder is a clever, distinctive, and beautifully written mystery from a crime writer who is top of the class -- Martin Edwards
