Top Marks for Murder by Robin Stevens

Daisy and Hazel are finally back at Deepdean, and the school is preparing for a most exciting event: the fiftieth Anniversary. Plans for a weekend of celebrations are in full swing. But all is not well, for in the detectives’ long absence, Deepdean has changed. Daisy has lost her crown to a fascinating new girl – and many of the Detective Society’s old allies are now their sworn enemies. Then the girls witness a shocking incident in the woods close by – a crime that they’re sure is linked to the Anniversary. As parents descend upon Deepdean, decades-old grudges, rivalries and secrets begin to surface, and soon Deepdean’s future is at stake. Can the girls solve the case – and save their home?

Fun Fact

Dating back over a thousand years in Indonesia, Wayang Kulit uses intricately carved leather puppets to cast shadows against a backlit cotton screen. The Dalang (master puppeteer) not only manipulates all the characters but also provides the voices, directs the gamelan orchestra, and even includes political satire and local gossip, making it a marathon performance that can last all night.
