My heart bled for Daniel's mum as I suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Talk about debilitating. The fatigue worsens with physical or mental activity but doesn't improve with rest. Difficulties with memory, focus and concentration and cannot always sleep. Dizziness that worsens with moving from lying down or sitting to standing. Finding a dead body at my new school was a pretty rubbish way to start. But actually getting mixed up in the case?

It turns out that schools are ideal settings for murder mysteries, and Lis Jardine is an exiting new voice in the canon of authors brilliantly sending young readers sleuthing.
