The Sudbury School Murders
by Ashley Gardner
Captain Lacey takes a post as a secretary at the Sudbury School in Berkshire, a school for sons of the wealthiest merchants and bankers in England. Lacey discovers as soon as he arrives that he's been hired for more than his letter-writing skills--a series of disturbing pranks have kept the school in an uproar, and the headmaster expects Lacey to discover the identity of the prankster. The problems intensify when a groom of the school's stables turns up dead in a lock of the nearby canal. A Romany is arrested for the murder, and Lacey is the only person who believes him innocent. As Lacey works to discover what happened, he gets drawn into the secrets of Marianne Simmons, the actress who'd lived upstairs from Lacey in London. Meanwhile the intrigue surrounding the murder becomes as murky as the waters of the canal itself and puts Lacey and Grenville into deadly danger.
The Sudbury School Murders won the RTBookReviews Reviewers Choice Award for Best Historical Mystery of 2005.
Book 4 in the Captain Lacey Regency mysteries. This is a full-length novel.

The mystery of the groom's murder is as intriguing as Gardner's bird's-eye view of the prejudicial 19th-century English justice system. This page-turning historical is thoroughly enjoyable.Romance Readers Connection - Deborah Hern
The pace of the story is expertly set, moving along briskly and keeping the reader compulsively turning the pages. English country mysteries don’t get much better than this.Fresh Fiction - Suan Wilson
