This entry was just OK. It’s clear that Griffiths was most interested in writing about the experiences of going to boarding school during early WWII and the interactions between the schoolgirls and the schoolboys from the London-evacuated school sharing the building. The mystery was an afterthought and didn’t really come together. It could have used a lot more detail and the Nazi characters needed more background.
