High Marks For Murder (A Bellehaven House Mystery Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Meredith felt quite sorry for poor Reggie, who struggled valiantly to haul a large trunk and several valises up the stairs to the new teacher's chamber. Miss Montrose appeared younger and decidedly more comely than Meredith had envisioned—a fact that rather irritated her, though she couldn't imagine why. The new instructress spoke in a soft voice that was at times difficult to hear, with a slight lisp that was bound to invite trouble from some of the more unruly students. She had a way of twitching her eyes about, as if inspecting her surroundings. Judging from her expression, Bellehaven fell rather short of her expectations. Confused to find herself so defensive, Meredith made an extra effort to be accommodating. She waited for an hour in order to allow Miss Montrose to settle in, before politely tapping on her door. It opened immediately, and she was relieved to note that Miss Montrose seemed a little less disparaging as she greeted her. "I thought you might like to meet some of your students," Meredith said, after she had conducted a short tour of the school.
