I always think this book is much more detailed as to characters than previous ones, though Autumn Term is also good. Traitors came over to me as a kids-on-adventure story, where you don't need to go all that deeply into the kids in question. Falconer's Lure was an improvement on that (in my opinion, folks, that's all) but this book grabs me every time I read it, even though I would have been one of those sitting in the back hoping not to be noticed! I was definitely "Sheep, noises off!"
May I also note my eternal regret at not grabbing a hardcopy of Peter's Room when I had the chance? I already have a paperback copy in good condition which I found in an unlikely lot of children's books (rather like Nicola with the Art of Falconerie!) and thought I did not need another copy, not realising its rarity!, when I saw it in a market bookstall. I hope the person who did buy it appreciates it!
