MA Bennett reinvigorates the boarding-school thriller... This is a
darkly compelling examination of the allure of privilege, and the
unscrupulous means by which it preserves itself.
*The Guardian*
A cracking debut psychological thriller set in an elite boarding
school ruled by a set of six pupils known as the Medievals. Think
Enid Blyton meets The Hunger Games!
*Irish Sunday Independent*
Gossip Girl meets The Hunger Games
*Bustle*
Bennett creates a chilling atmosphere on every page. She describes
the gorgeous grounds of Longcross, the de Warlencourt home, in rich
detail, but never allows readers to relax for long. A threatening
servant or an explosion of gunfire always lurks around the corner.
The book reads like a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or an Agatha Christie
mystery for modern teens.
*School Library Journal*
MA Bennett is brilliant at keeping the reader in suspense.
*Book Murmuration*
