The Murders at Fleat House is a suspenseful and utterly compelling crime novel from the author of the multimillion-selling The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley. The sudden death of a pupil in Fleat House at St Stephen's - a small private boarding school in deepest Norfolk - is a shocking event that the headmaster is very keen to call a tragic accident. But the local police cannot rule out foul play and the case prompts the return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine 'Jazz' Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss. Reunited with her loyal sergeant Alastair Miles, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish's tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn.

As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . . Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined...

Po smrti svojho otca, záhadného milionára tatka Slaného sa Tiggy D´Apliese intuitívne rozhodne odcestovať na krásnu, no divokú škótsku Vysočinu. Tam prijme prácu, ktorá jej prináša potešenie - stará sa o zvieratá na odľahlom panstve Kinnaird, kde ju zamestnal tajomný majiteľ Charlie. Mesačná sestra je piata, duchovná - obdarená šiestym zmyslom, milujúca prírodu a zvieratá. Keď sa Tiggy v novom prostredí zoznámi s múdrym starom Chillym, jej osud naberie nečakaný spád. Chilly jej prezradí, že po predkoch, o ktorých dosiaľ netušila, zdedila nevšedné schopnosti jasnozrivosti, liečiteľstva a intuície. Prezradí jej aj, že svoje korene má hľadať v španielskej Granade. Tam v tieni Alhambry, majestátneho maurského paláca, Tiggy odhalí, čo ju spája s bájnou komunitou gitanos zo Sacromonte, ktorá musela počas španielskej občianskej vojny opustiť svoje domovy a ukryť sa v jaskyniach. Dozvie sa, že jej blízka príbuzná La Candely bola slávnou tanečnicou flamenca. Tiggy sa postupne zoznamuje s fascinujúcim životným príbehom vychýrenej tanečnice, ktorá pred desiatkami rokov odišla zo Španielska najprv do Južnej Ameriky a neskôr do New Yorku. No zasiahne osud a Tiggy sa musí rozhodnúť, či zostane so svojou novoobjavenou rodinou, alebo sa vráti do Škótska, kam ju ťahá nielen srdce, ale aj láska k prírode a zvieratám, o ktoré sa vždy obetavo starala... Sedem sestier pokračuje 6. príbehom Slnečná sestra.
