Idelwild Hall being renovated but not being made public? Did the mysterious woman and her son that were doing the renovation know something no one else knew?
One good thing about the renovation was that it meant Fiona would be able to get inside the school grounds where her sister was found dead on the football field twenty years ago.
Fiona still had questions about her sister's death, and this would be the perfect time to investigate.
THE BROKEN GIRLS moves from 1950 when we meet the four main characters and then back again to present day with Fiona using her journalist's skills to write a story and find more clues to what happened at the school. It looked like more than what the public knew.
During her investigation, Fiona finds something else that happened that was kept from the public.
Fiona’s investigation heats up when she finds a teacher who was at Idelwild Hall during its hey day. The teacher let Fiona know that no one liked being there - students and teachers alike.
There was something at the school that was sinister and something that everyone wanted to keep quiet or perhaps something they didn’t know about but kept the students and teachers on edge.
You won’t want to put THE BROKEN GIRLS down.
THE BROKEN GIRLS has lots of secrets, along with ghosts, mean girls, and a school that was for unwanted girls for a reason.
This was my first book by Ms. St. James. Her writing is mesmerizing, detailed, and draws you in so well that you feel as if you are right there with the characters and the drama.
Murders, an old boarding school, corruption, and an awesome story line await the reader. And...how about that cover? A great indication of what is inside.
ENJOY when you read THE BROKEN GIRLS during daylight hours. LOVED the book. 5/5
This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher and NetGalley in return for an honest review.
Must read!! Murder, mystery, suspense, love, hate, ghosts, this book has it all! Flipping between 1950 and 2014 you get so caught up in the lives of the characters you can feel your heart racing, your breath catch and feel anxious at every turn of the page! Wonderfully written and completely captivating!!
I just wish foul language didn’t have to be a part of the story line,so unnecessary.....
