So well written, again as usual. Kept me spellbound until the end. Such a talented author. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Dark and Twisty Tale *by S***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2023* In Joanne Harris’s ‘A Narrow Door’ we visit for the third (and final?) time St Oswald’s Grammar School for Boys which has now, after the appointment of Rebecca Buckfast as Head, been re-named St Oswald’s Academy. And that is not the sole change, for not only has St Oswald’s never had a woman as head teacher, but the school now caters for female pupils too. Fortunately, despite having had a heart attack and being offered retirement, Classics master Roy Straitley is still in his post, determined that he will not be put out to pasture and is still teaching Latin to his boys - but, of course, he now has young girls to contend with. When on the first day of term, Straitley’s ‘Brodie Boys’ (who now include Benedicta Wild, or ‘Ben’ as she prefers to be known and with the pronoun ‘he’) arrive at his classroom and tell him they think they have found a dead body on the site of the half-finished building site of the new Gunderson Building, Straitley thinks it could just be a practical joke - his ‘Brodie Boys’ are known for their jokes - but when he visits the site himself, he feels his pupils might be right. Taking his fears to Rebecca Buckfast, Straitley is talked out of reporting his suspicions to the police by the Head’s assurance that it is very unlikely to be a real body and that she will deal with the situation herself. And when Straitley suffers another heart attack and is hospitalised soon afterwards, he has to trust that Ms Buckfast will do as she has promised - but firstly, his head teacher tells him, he must listen to the story of the disappearance many years’ ago of her elder brother before deciding if his suspicions need to be reported to the authorities. And so, each evening, like Scheherazade in the Arabian Nights, Ms Buckfast shares with Straitley how, when she was only five years old, her fourteen-year-old brother, Conrad, disappeared almost in front of her eyes and was never seen again and of the effect his disappearance has had on her entire life since then…As with the two previous books in this series (‘Gentlemen and Players’ and ‘Different Class’), this novel is presented to the reader in first-person narratives and I was pulled into the narrators’ stories from the very first pages. It is true that the reader will need to suspend their disbelief at times, but also true that Ms Harris takes her readers on a dark and twisty journey with this third St Oswald’s novel and I was wrong-footed on more than one occasion during the course of the story. I can’t say too much more about the plot for fear of spoilers, but what I can say is that Joanne Harris's descriptions of the old school, with its quads, its ancient buildings, its bell tower and its dusty corridors, are very well done and particularly evocative for those who, like me, have attended or who work in a traditional school like St Oswald's - in fact it was this part of the book that I found especially enjoyable. (And in this book we also get to read about St Oswald's rival school: King Henry's - another very traditional, independent school, which is actually more exclusive than St Oswald's). I also found the author's portrayal of the grizzled and dedicated Roy Straitley particularly convincing and, if this is the last book in the series, I have to say that I am sorry to leave St Oswald’s behind me. (Although I’m quite sure that all three books would stand at least one rereading at some time in the future).4 Stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars very interesting *by C***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 January 2024* I have not read many of her books but I shall now. This is a great read and an interesting subject --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/431520825-a-narrow-door-the-electric-psychological-thriller-from-the-sunday](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/431520825-a-narrow-door-the-electric-psychological-thriller-from-the-sunday) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
