About this ebook
When eighteen-year-old Ethan Caldwell is found dead in his dorm at Ashcroft House, St Matthew’s School, the headmaster fears the worst: a scandal that could destroy the centuries-old institution. The coroner’s unexpected verdict and the arrival of detectives from London turn a sleepy Norfolk boarding school into the scene of a criminal inquiry. Tensions rise among staff and pupils as long-buried rivalries, bullying rumours and whispered folklore about Ashcroft House come under scrutiny. As investigators piece together the last hours of Ethan’s life, loyalties fray and the façade of privilege begins to crack. Ashcroft House Secrets is a tense, atmospheric mystery that explores authority, adolescent frailty and the lengths people will go to protect reputation. Richly observed and driven by a simmering sense of unease, this novel follows a community forced to confront uncomfortable truths when a tragedy refuses to remain private.
