The Full Back to School Mystery Series Collection
(2025)(A book in the Back to School Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Maisy Marple
Step into the charming world of small-town schools where dedicated teachers become accidental sleuths in this delightful six-book cozy mystery collection. From missing heirlooms to purloined prizes, each standalone adventure features a new town, fresh characters, and clever four-legged companions who help their owners uncover the truth.
In "Lesson in Mystery," English teacher Marcus Wilson and his rambunctious golden retriever Hemingway team up with no-nonsense math teacher Vivian Taylor and her fastidious black cat Pythagoras to recover the principal's missing antique fountain pen—a good luck charm believed essential for a successful school year. Then journey to Millfield in "Knead to Know," where baker-turned-teacher Olivia Peterson must clear her name when suspicious events at the community theater threaten her reputation and livelihood. The drama continues in "The Puzzle of the Poisoned Principal," as chemistry teacher Vivian Pierce and history teacher Marcus Hamilton investigate when Oakridge High's unpopular principal falls ill after the staff breakfast, leaving the school in administrative chaos.
The mysteries deepen in "Missing Measures" when professional jazz saxophonist-turned-teacher Nolan Winters discovers valuable vintage instruments have vanished weeks before Spruce Valley Middle School's Fall Arts Festival. In "The Substitute's Secret," former architect Jacob Bennett fills in at Sprucewood Middle School only to find valuable art supplies and exhibition judging criteria missing, leading him and science teacher Francine Weber on a trail that reveals deeper issues within the school's arts program. The series concludes with "Final Test," where dedicated educators use their unique skills, town connections, and loyal pets to solve one last compelling mystery that brings the collection to a satisfying conclusion.
Each story stands alone while contributing to a rich tapestry of small-town charm, classroom camaraderie, and the special bond between teachers and their communities. Clear your schedule and prepare to be schooled in mystery with this complete collection that proves sometimes the most important lessons happen outside the classroom!
