At Willowbrook Primary, everyone knows everyone's business. Or at least they think they do.For single mum Sophie Carter, the school gates are usually a world of forgotten PE kits, playground politics, WhatsApp gossip and hurried conversations over takeaway coffee.
Then headteacher Adrian Whitmore is found dead in his office.
Then headteacher Adrian Whitmore is found dead in his office.
The police believe someone at Willowbrook knows more than they're admitting. And Sophie may have witnessed something important without even realising it.
A worried glance. A brown envelope. Missing money. A governors' meeting. And secrets stretching back years.
Sophie isn't a detective. She's an accounts-savvy mum who happens to notice when things don't add up. But as she begins questioning what she saw in the hours before Adrian died, the familiar faces around the school gates start looking very different.
Everyone seems to be hiding something.
And while Sophie grows closer to Charlie's teacher, Daniel Reed, she discovers that some secrets are far more dangerous than school-gate gossip.
Because somebody at Willowbrook knows exactly what happened to Adrian Whitmore.
And they have every reason to make sure the truth stays buried.
Warm, witty and packed with secrets, suspects, red herrings and slow-burn romance, The Last Parent to Leave is a distinctly British murder mystery about ordinary people, old lies and the deadly consequences of protecting the truth.
