A Wells and Wong Mystery #1 Murder Is Bad Manners by Robin Stevens

Hazel Wong, from Hong Kong, is struggling to fit in at the English boarding school.  But when popular Daisy Wells decides to befriend her, life becomes easier.  Then Hazel discovers her teacher lying on the gym floor . .  .dead.  When she brings Daisy back to the gym, the body is gone.  The administration, however, is claiming Miss Bell resigned.  Hazel and Daisy know they need to solve the murder before the killer strikes again.  With clever schemes, the two girls uncover more secrets than they intended.

Warning: A sentence mentions two girls canoodling in the closet. The reader may infer that Miss Parker may have been in love with Miss Bell.  It wasn't really explicit but one could come to that conclusion . Hazel's father has concubine because her mother could not produce a son. A good looking male teacher pairs up with Miss Bell but then moves onto another woman.  Daisy and Hazel put on facades so they are well liked.
One teacher seems to be an alcoholic.  She comes to class often drunk.
