The Finishing School is a very good and well written book. I was immediately into the story and I really liked the storyline. As a reader you get very curious what happened to Cressida and why. When it was revealed who was behind it I was totally surprised, as from the middle of the book to the end there are some very good plot twists. I also liked that it changed in every chapter from the past in 1997 to the present time, that really worked for this book!
Without revealing too many spoilers, I highly recommend this fast paced book! Really enjoyed reading it!
