About this listen

 'Fabulous' JANICE HALLETT
'Great fun...clever and wickedly funny' THE SUN
'Deliciously funny' MARTINA COLE

A headmistress is dead. The circumstances are suspicious.
And as every parent knows, being on the school group chat can be murder...

As educators go, Claudia Stitchwell makes Miss Hannigan look like Miss Honey.
But when the reviled headteacher drops dead in the school hall, a group of sceptical parents suspect the nut allergy explanation doesn't add up - they believe someone wanted to teach Miss Stitchwell a lesson.

Only four people could have killed Stitchwell: Hattie, the adored school cook; Kiera, the hard-working teaching assistant; Clive, the loathed school bursar and Ben, the popular deputy head. All of them are liars... but only one is the murderer.

Piecing together evidence from the daily drama and drudgery of the parents' group chat, local press, police reports, school newsletters, and good, old-fashioned gossip, the determined detective parents are doing their homework to crack the case.

Will you spot the clues? Can you deduce whodunnit? And for the love of all things holy, does anyone have this week's spellings?

Critic reviews

Great fun....clever and wickedly funny, this book highlights murderous motives against a rich background of friendships, rivalries and the general mayhem of everyday school life.
This witty mystery will please fans of Richard Osman and Janice Hallett
Praise for Maz Evans:
Laugh-out-loud hilarious, moving and life affirming. How can one book be so many things? I couldn't put this fabulous, first class, five star read down.
A very different take on a whodunnit. Warm, wacky and witty. I loved it!
Clever, wise and properly funny. An absolute triumph
Thoroughly wicked, compulsively page-turning, and funny as hell.
Splendidly offbeat whodunnit....Evans knows how to make an unlikely plot seem entirely believable.
A triumph...there are also moving moments amid the hilarity
Sometimes a book comes along that reminds you why you fell in love with reading. Imaginative, witty and original...an absolute joy!
A really entertaining read that will appeal to fans of Richard Osman
Clever, multilayered and a joy!
Pure fun in book form, a laugh out loud murder mystery with great characters and a page turning plot. It's a book you won't be able to put down - especially if you belong to a parents WhatsApp group!
A hilarious whodunit filled with so much heart, and a cast characters you'll love to pieces but suspect of doing a murder all at once (KATE WESTON)

I found it really difficult getting used to the characters and flow of the story but typical side-cracking one liners from this author. Think it would be one that’s easier to read than listen to.

Funny

Loved this book, my second (adult) book by Maz Evans after really enjoying "Over my dead body".

Great story line, laugh out loud moments, relatable characters, and fabulous narration throughout.

Looking forward to the next one Maz!

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Absolutely loved it. For anyone who has experienced the fun of being a year 6 parent, you will laugh out loud at this great production,

A funny brilliant read

I wasn’t sure initially. I found listening to the chat elements of the book hard work in the beginning, maybe because I don’t particularly like large group chats in real life. Anyway there are some utterly gross characters and loveable characters in this book and lots of others around the edges. It is well worth making it all the way to the end. Keep writing for adults Maz!

Better as it goes

Brilliant in its observation of all things primary school whilst exploring the behind the scenes secrets. The characters are well drawn but still develop and have human failings like the rest of us.
No spoilers- just read it!!!

One of the most entertaining books I’ve read in a long time
