Jonno resents moving to Bristol and considers investigating a murder a form of top-grade misbehaviour; authority is described as continually looming.
The pupils discover a teacher’s body and investigate a murder; the wider discussion describes morally complex stories in which deadly violence has lingering emotional impact.
Jonno has moved away from his friends, while Daniel and Lydia are sharply drawn supporting characters associated with the school mystery.
Be aware of a discovered body, murder, deadly violence, a pitched hospital-room battle, dirty dealing and a dodgy moneylender.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
