| Synopsis: |
Dandy Gilver had once spent a perfect summer with the Lipscotts, so when two of the Lipscott sisters beg her to help the third, she can hardly refuse. Sweet, pretty Fleur Lipscott is working as a schoolmistress at St Columba's College in the tiny seaside village of Portpatrick. But she is one of the few remaining, for St Columba's has been shedding mistresses as a snake its skins. With mistresses vanishing and corpses mounting up, can Mrs Gilver pass herself off as Miss Gilver, English mistress, to solve the disappearances and stop the murders? |
