Laurels Are Poison

laurels are poison

Mrs Beatrice Lestrange Bradley, psychologist and detective, has become the warden of a house in a college so that she can investigate the disappearance of a previous warden. As soon as the term starts, strange things begin to happen: a bath is left to overflow, girls’ clothes are torn to shreds, snakes appear, and a girl’s hair is cut off as she sleeps.

Can Mrs Bradley solve the mysteries of the college?
