Murder at School
Book •
Published under the pen name Glen Trevor, 'Murder at School' is James Hilton's singular full-length contribution to crime fiction, set in the insular world of an English public school.
The novel centers on an apparently accidental death that conceals darker motives, explored through detective work among faculty and pupils.
Hilton employs his characteristic sympathy for characters and atmospheric detail to transform the school setting into a claustrophobic stage for intrigue.
The book reflects period-specific attitudes and the golden-age puzzle tradition while offering moral and social observations.
Although less known than Hilton's major novels, it remains of interest to fans of vintage school mysteries.
