What an intriguing new assignment Cici is at work on. Undercover at a finishing school for young ladies she’s on the surface teaching them how to properly correspond with friends, acquaintances etc but her real reason is much more sensitive and secretive. She’s asked to try and uncover a spy from the Great War. While she’s doing that, teaching and growing quite fond of the girls something sinister happens. Murder. Now she must put on another hat that of sleuth so she can try and uncover all the secrets that have been lurking in the halls of this school.
A delightful change of scenery and an absolutely amazing story! Not that far removed from the war and the chance to uncover a spy Cici jumps at the chance. She never expects her watch and listen mission to turn on its ear. Yet she’s always prepared and willing to go the extra mile to find the truth. Her kindness and compassion help her here more than expected. There’s lots of twists and turns and plenty of youthful exuberance. I really enjoyed the complexity that was woven into the story while not being heavy. Another winner in this series no doubt about it!

Hunting for a spy from the Great War, Lady Felicity thinks she’s worked out who it is when someone dies and suddenly nothing is quite what it seems.

Lady Felicity at Her Best!
I love how Lady Felicity Quick uses her journalism skills to infiltrate various English settings between the World Wars. She easily blends in with the staff and students of a girls’ finishing school to uncover a spy…and finds a murderer instead! Lots of interesting red herrings and scrumptious descriptions of fashion and societal expectations. And as always, the undercurrent of romance simmering between Felicity and colleague Alex. The tension of their restraint and constant interruptions only make this growing attraction sweeter! Such a beautiful wrap-up at the end! One of my favorites in a lovely series.

Lady Felicity goes undercover at an exclusive ladies’ finishing school with the objective of uncovering a war time spy suspected of hiding there. Her students love her, and the headmistress would like her to change her temporary status to a more permanent arrangement. Felicity, while enjoying helping girls prepare for their society debuts, is rather keener to complete her task and return to her career in journalism.
And then a member of staff, who just happens to be Felicity’s number one suspect, dies unexpectedly. Was her death connected to Felicity’s investigation? Could it have been murder? And if so, is anyone else at the school in danger?
Felicity’s investigative techniques are gentle, as is the pace of this story. In fact, I found the first half of the book to be rather slow. There are a lot of characters to take in, and whilst the endless descriptions of their apparel does set the flavour of the period, and enhances the ambience of the academy setting, I felt it could have been pruned somewhat.
Once past the 60% mark things start to hot up nicely. Felicity makes a number of assumptions leading to further complications, and the unravelling of the whole complicated situation gives this complex mystery a nicely rounded ending.
It was nice to see Lady Felicity becoming more self-confident, and handling a potentially perilous situation with calm and grace. Her relationship with Alex was rather on hold during this volume, although dancing with him at the practice ball was perhaps a step forward. It was also good to see the police beginning to respect the input Felicity could give them, rather than dismissing her as a meddlesome woman.
Ideal for lovers of 1920s set murder mystery novels.

Murder at a Boarding School by Rosie Sandler is another romp with Lady Felicity who has taken some time to be a writing teacher at an exclusive school for girls from the aristocracy, training to make their debuts before the queen and formally enter society. She is here at the behest of her brother, Jasper, to root out a German spy. She has come to enjoy her time here and relished getting to know the girls, until there is a murder of a teacher. Then a girl is poisoned, although she lives. Felicity is on the job immediately, offering her services to the owner/headmistress of the school, hopefully convince all is being done so the father of the girl, an influential, duke, doesn’t call the police and engender bad publicity for the school. Felicity is certain she has the case well in hand as she gathers information, subtly.
Lady Felicity is living on the cusp of a new world, following the Great War, and she is a the forefront of society viewing women differently. She has a successful career as a journalist, and a successful vocation as an investigator. Now all that remains is to engender respect from the old guard, and some of the new. The mystery is a complicated one, well, both of them really. She has made no progress at all on finding the spy, murder taking precedence. It turns out she is wrong about all of it and has to regroup, more than once. Alex is right there by her side, sometimes meeting in the woods to report/assist and sometimes in plain sight as a workman. She is a wonderful character. Sandler has imbued her with every admirable trait possible and still kept her interesting. Thanks Rosie Sandler for Lady Felicity!

Lady Felicity is an earl’s daughter and a newspaper reporter. Now she is a temporary teacher at an expensive school for young ladies. She is teaching how to write letters and communicate using grace and good taste.
This is a fun series and I have enjoyed all the books I have read in the series. The story works fine as a stand alone read. Past events and characters are completely explained.
Felicity is at the school on her temporary assignment because her brother the owner of the newspaper which employs her, has sent her there. She is trying to find a spy from the past war. It appears that someone who spied for the Germans, during World War I, now lives in England and works at the school.
When Felicity’s best suspect dies, she is certain it is murder.
I have enjoyed the series. Felicity is a bright woman who is a marvelous problem solver.
But, this book told me too much about what people were wearing.
Yes, the story takes place at a place populated by very wealthy young woman. But, I did not need to get a description of every single thing any of them were wearing. The fashion reports definitely broke up the flow of the story.
Felicity and Alex, another reporter who works with her, work together well. They are both good reporters and they are extremely observant.
I liked the book. The plot moves along. The characters are completely developed so the reader knows who they are. The young women all have back stories.
This is a good book except for the fashion reports. They were too much for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lady Felicity and Alex team up to uncover a former traitor in this newest mystery. As that quest begins, it becomes apparent that there are many threads and leads but not just to the original mystery! Fast paced plot with twists and red herrings galore. As a side point there are interesting descriptive passages detailing the clothing of the era which I very much enjoyed. The ending is ........ spectacular! Truly recommend this series!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I've included the review for the novella from Rosie Hunt which introduces Lady Felicity?
Well crafted clever mystery
The mystery is set in the once posh setting of a stately home suffering from the plight of too much home for too little money. Felicity attends an elegant tea reminiscent of better days for the purpose of interviewing her old school friend who is now a renowned actress and director. It's a fast-paced yet smooth read of intrigue, theft, and murder which highlights a cleverly manipulated cast of characters. The dramatic ending is a huge shock that'll make you shudder. In a summation discussion an extra surprise will leave you with a smile as Felicity reaches a turning point in her life. The beginning of an excellent series!

The sixth book in the Lady Felicity series is another fun, entertaining addition to the series. Lady Felicity is undercover as a teacher of letter writing and table manners at Liverton Ladies Academy. The attention to details thrusts the reader into a world of privilege where the young ladies are preparing for their debut and subsequent appropriate marriages. Although there to undercover a great war spy Felicity finds herself looking into a teacher's murder and a student's poisoning. I was quickly turning the pages of this interesting story full of twists and turns to discover along with Lady Felicity the identity of the spy and if the mishaps at the school are related. I received a free copy of this book from the author and write this review voluntarily. I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more adventures with the lovable Lady Felicity (and her friend? partner? Alex). Readers who enjoy quick-paced mysteries featuring a strong female lead will not want to miss this series

While teaching the art of correspondence to the young ladies, Lady Felicity is also attempting to discover whether someone at the school has been spying for the Germans during the Great War. When a murder occurs, Cici investigates, but secrets and complications are everywhere. Lady Felicity is gaining confidence in her abilities, both as a reporter and as an investigator. Entertaining mystery with likeable and realistic characters and twists and turns in the plot. I have enjoyed every entry in this series, and will definitely continue!

Lady Felicity at her best
I have enjoyed all the Lady Felicity books to date, but I especially enjoyed this one as “Cici” is largely on her own here.
Oh, Alex plays a nice, and surprising, supporting role, but it is Felicity who does the major detective work — something that has not necessarily been so in some of the earlier books.
Ms Hunt has given us a very clever and complicated plot with characters that seem to come alive on the pages, and, with a sufficient number of red herrings to waylay and confuse nearly everyone, the denouement should please even the more critical reader.
I strongly recommend this book, and I am especially pleased to see Felicity take a step towards more independence.

This was excellent. Felicity is undercover at a girl's boarding school as a teacher with the aim of uncovering a spy but things escalate when another teacher is murdered and then one of the students is poisoned.
I loved the setting of this story. It brought back memories of reading as a child the stories of Enid Blyton set in Mallory Towers even though this story bears no resemblance to those books! I particularly enjoyed the fact that so many people seemed to be hiding secrets and trying to figure out the puzzle of how innocent or not those secrets were. As usual, this was so easy to read and very hard to put down. It's another winner in my book.

I enjoyed Lady Felicity in this book. I liked the way she owned the situation. She seemed to have more confidence in herself and her abilities. There ends up being multiple mysteries to solve and Lady F eventually manages them all. I enjoyed the boarding school setting and loved how well Lady F did with the young women and they loved her for it. I did not figure out who the guilty were though I did suspect a little of it. It was a fun cozy mystery to try to figure out. I enjoyed it.

This story is so good, one of the best so far in the series! Cici has matured incredibly and the growth is making her blossom in an amazing journalist and sleuth. The setting is so quintessentially 1920's British and Christie's that more than reading, I found myself "watching" the story unfold reminiscent of the many big productions made from Dame Christie's books. Rosie Hunt has a talent for describing surroundings, characters, details about features and clothing that really bring to life her cast and the story, making her books one of my favourites, that I eagerly await the release of.
Absolutely recommended!

Wow… Lady Felicity and Alex are at boarding school, life skills and gardening fill their timetables, while looking for someone who is feeding information off shore, watching the next generation of debs getting prepared to come out before marriage, enduring parental behaviour and expectations causing concern. With the schools future looking grim after a couple of grave hiccups, will a brighter future arrive in time to save the day.
The leads have hit their stride, working together separately to solve a puzzle which will lead to head lines and partnerships built on equal friendly footing. Looking forward to book #7.
Loved this, thank you Rosie Hunt, very much appreciated. :-)

Lady Felicity Quick goes to Liverton Ladies Academy to teach young wealthy girls as well as undercover to help find a Great War spy. There is a murder and poisoning of a student which has Felicity determined to solve the mystery. There is a lot of suspense with mayhem twist and turns and great characters to make this an intriguing read . I received this ARC copy and leave a honest review. I recommend this book to other readers.

This is another wonderful Lady Felicity mystery series. Mysteries were abounding everywhere between what Lady Felicity was sent to find out to other mysteries that occurred and added to the confusion.
There were some developments on the personal front as well...though I was kept wanting more!
I highly recommend this series and this book in the series did not disappoint either. I received a free advance copy and this is my honest review.

Another enjoyable entry in the Lady Felicity Quick series. This time we have a change of pace as its not about reporting news but tracking spies. Th usual twist and turns kept my interested and I will admit that I never suspected the villain this time so that was a nice surprise. The only draw back is that there is no real progress with the romance in this book although they do have a dance. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

While I received an ARC for an honest review, I love this series. I was definitely not disappointed. Lady Felicity adds teaching to her many talents. Plenty of action, red herrings and period detail made it hard to put down. I think this is my favorite adventure yet.

This is a cleverly crafted mystery that had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next shoe to drop. The story is full of intrigue and human interest that will capture your attention and touch your heart. This was a most enjoyable read!!!!!

This latest adventure of Felicity Quick is completely absorbing. Rosie Hunt is such a great writer and storyteller, weaving plots together seamlessly. I loved this book, and if you love cozy mysteries, you will, too!

The 6th book in the series and still going strong. Often I find series start to get less interesting but this one continued on with good character development, interesting characters, mystery kept me guessing, and there were some twists and turns to keep things interesting.

Unrealistic storyline
The story is far-fetched , , there are way too many Needless clothing descriptions, and Spies,

wrong doing. Just a bad book

Enjoyable
I always enjoy Lady Felicity. This one was a bit more complicated because of so many characters to keep track of. But once you get to know them it’s great fun.

I discovered the world of cozy mysteries during lockdown, and am particularly fascinated by those that hark back to the ‘Golden Age’ mysteries, which I have loved for a very long time. So, discovering the world of Lady Felicity Quick was just up my street. The stories are set after the First World War and feature a member of the aristocracy, although given her family own a newspaper, they are perhaps part of the new wave of high society. Felicity is what would now be called a “new woman”, in that she wants to have a career and to be accepted as being an equal to the men around her.
In this 6th outing for our aristocratic sleuth, Felicity is working ‘under cover’ in a girls’ boarding school; one that specializes in preparing the crème de la crème for the ‘Season’. When one of the teachers is killed and a pupil just escapes with her life, Felicity is drawn into an investigation. Yet again the author has given us a fast paced and exciting story, with a range of ‘red herrings’ to throw us off the scent. I am now a great fan of Rosie Hunt’s work and have got all of her Felicity Quick books. They are the kind of stories that you can re-visit and find more detail with each reading. Definitely one for the “keeping” shelves.
Thank you to the publisher and especially Rosie for allowing access to an ARC copy, in exchange for my honest opinion.
