Biographie:
a fun and twisty mystery peopled by characters you'll recognise if you've ever been part of a parents WhatsApp group!' - Laura Marshall, author of Friend Request

'Absolutely loved this witty, wicked and cleverly plotted story, with its sharply-drawn characters and skewering of privilege and class. At its heart, though, ONE BAD APPLE is a classic murder mystery - and one that will keep you guessing to the very end' - Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little Lies

Welcome to Aberfal Boys High School. Independent jewel of academic and sporting excellence in the South-west... until the headmaster is murdered in his study. And now the Year Seven School Mums' WhatsApp Group really does have something to talk about...

Clare Withoutani: OMG have you heard about Newhall?!!!

Becky Rupertsmum: Helen-Louise just texted. Can't believe it.

Pam Geoffreysmum: What's he done this time? They're going co-ed, aren't they? I knew this would happen.

Clare Withoutani: Can't believe it, Becky. I'm in shock.

Pam Geoffreysmum: Are we going co-ed?

Becky Rupertsmum: No, Pam. Newhall died.

Pam Geoffreysmum: Oh GOD. Seriously??!! Can't believe it. So sad. He'll be such a loss to the school. The boys will be devastated. Will the school be offering grief counselling?

Rose Oliversmum: Anyone know what pages they're meant to do for chemistry? Ollie's homework diary says 'do questions 1-4' but no page numbers!

As the resulting police investigation reveals more and more of Aberfal's long-hidden secrets, the list of suspects who wanted the headmaster dead grows by the day. And far from being a glittering jewel of exclusivity and excellence, it would appear Aberfal Boys High School is rotten to its core...

----------

This twisty, wickedly funny murder mystery is perfect for fans of Big Little Lies, Bella Mackie, Katy Brent, and Ali Lowe.
