'A delectable slice of dark academia' Times Crime Club
Cleeve is not for everyone...
When Eve's husband is appointed housemaster at his old boarding school, Cleeve College, she gives up her life in London to join him. But the isolation and loss of autonomy threaten both her happiness and her marriage.
The arrival of Fen, an enigmatic artist and wife of the new Classics teacher, is a welcome distraction. Fen doesn't play by the rules, and she and Eve enter into a game of escalating dares, disrupting the delicate balance of school life.
Then, the morning after Hazard Night, a tradition that allows the students to run wild and play pranks for one day, a body is found. Someone has been murdered. And it seems everyone has something to hide...
Beautifully written, Hazard Night is dark and devious, immersive, compelling, and intensely atmospheric. A wonderfully absorbing read. -- Andrea Mara
