About this ebook
Corvus Academy is a place where the impossible becomes possible. It's a secret boarding school filled with the world's most unsociable geniuses. Until Greta arrives. Then it's also filled with . . . murders!
Greta Nilsen is in the middle of a boring maths lesson when she's told by a stranger in a fancy suit that she has a place at Corvus Academy.
There are only three problems with this:
1) Greta never applied to Corvus Academy
2) Greta definitely isn't a genius (or in any way unsociable)
3) There's no evidence that Corvus Academy exists
But the opportunity for adventure is too good to miss . . . A decision Greta soon regrets, when her non-genius secret becomes harder and harder to keep, shortly followed by the death of a teacher in circumstances that make her look VERY guilty.
How can totally average Greta Nilsen hope to solve a murder, clear her name and stay undercover in a place she clearly doesn't belong?

About the author
Kristen Perrin is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of How to Solve Your Own Murder, and its sequels How to Seal Your Own Fate and How to Cheat Your Own Death. Her books have been translated into thirty languages. How to Solve Your Own Murder was also an Indiebound and Der Spiegel bestseller, has been long listed for the CWA Golden Dagger Award, and was an ALA Alex Award winner in 2025. She fell in love with books as a child, and one of her first jobs was working as a bookseller in the children's section at her local Barnes and Noble. She is originally from Seattle, but currently lives in England, where she is working on more books in her series. When she's not writing, she volunteers at the library, goes fossil hunting on the English coast, and takes lots of muddy walks with her husband and two kids. Her books are often inspired by the English countryside, so she spends as much time there as possible and will never get tired of the charm of dry stone walls, woodland and rolling green hills, and thatched roof cottages.
