''Murder at School'' is a detective novel by James Hilton first published in 1931. It was released in the United States the following year under the title, ''Was It Murder?''. ==Introduction==
''Murder at School'' deals with the phenomenon of coincidence by posing the question of how likely it is that two brothers attending the same boarding school meet with two separate accidental deaths—and curious ones at that—within the same schoolyear. In the manner typical of the Golden Age whodunnit, the solution is only presented in the final pages of the novel. Throughout the book, an amateur sleuth and a Scotland Yard detective vie with each other to solve the riddle, with only one of them successful in the end. ''Murder at School'' remained Hilton's only detective novel— a brief youthful foray into crime fiction he shares with writers such as C. S. Forester (''Payment Deferred'', 1926; ''Plain Murder'', 1930) and C. P. Snow (''Death Under Sail'', 1932).
