About this listen

After 30 years at St Oswald's Grammar in North Yorkshire, Latin master Roy Straitley has seen all kinds of boys come and go. Each class has its clowns, its rebels, its underdogs, its 'Brodie' boys who, whilst of course he doesn't have favourites, hold a special place in an old teacher's heart.

But every so often there's a boy who doesn't fit the mould. A troublemaker. A boy with hidden shadows inside. With insolvency and academic failure looming, a new broom has arrived at the venerable school, bringing PowerPoint, sharp suits and even sixth-form girls to the dusty corridors. But while Straitley does his sardonic best to resist this march to the future, a shadow from his past is stirring. A boy who even 20 years on haunts his teacher's dreams. A boy capable of bad things.

Cleverly written

Kept me guessing all the way through. Got that feeling of loss when I finished it that speaks to just how good it was. The author and the excellent narrator are a marriage made in heaven!'

Un-putdownable!

Superbly written and presented. How the story unfolds right to the last page was gripping

Fantastic book.

Immerse yourself in the world of St Oswald’s and chill - although the story is quite dark- Roy Straitley is a great character. I’m now moving on to the next book - I would say to read the books in order - gives you a bit more insight.

Utterly marvellous

Enjoyed this book, narrator Steven Pacey great as in Gentlemen and Players, not so much the second narrator.

Another good book in the series
