Report For Murder by Val McDermid

3.0

In her debut novel, Val McDermid puts a distinctly lesbian spin on a pair of well-tried mystery formulas: the "country house" murder associated with Agatha Christie, and the "locked-room" puzzles of John Dickson Carr. This one is set in a girls' boarding school in the Derbyshire moors. Clearly a formative work, but one which shows early promise of things to come.
