«Nous avions toutes le nez en l'air, donc nous avons manqué l'assassinat. Nous savions bien qu'Elizabeth était méchante et dangereuse. Mais en fin de compte, voilà qu'elle était la victime, pas la criminelle. Et si quelqu'un l'avait tuée, c'était forcément une pensionnaire de Deepdean.»Elizabeth Hurst, la terrible préfète-en-chef, est retrouvée morte en plein feu d'artifice... Très vite, Hazel et Daisy se rendent compte que tout le monde a un mobile : Elizabeth utilisait les secrets des élèves pour les faire chanter. Toutes la détestaient, même ses plus proches amies... et toutes sont suspectes.

«Je n'aimais pas du tout ce grossier Mr Curtis, et d'après les vibrations de colère que je percevais chez Daisy, j'ai compris qu'elle partageait mon opinion. Son rire contenu, comme s'il lançait des plaisanteries que les autres ne pouvaient pas comprendre... Les joues roses de Lady Hastings... Pas de doute, il se passait quelque chose.»
