Synopsis

The second book in the darkly compelling psychological thriller series, full of twists and turns, perfect for fans of AFTER ANNA, HE SAID/SHE SAID and AFTER I’VE GONE. There are so many ways to fall… Catriona needs help. Her seventeen-year-old daughter Elena was found dead at the bottom of a cliff near her boarding school. The death has been ruled a suicide, but Catriona isn’t convinced. When her old friend, journalist Alex Devlin, arrives in Hallow’s Edge to investigate, she quickly finds that life at private boarding school The Drift isn’t as idyllic as the bucolic setting might suggest. Amidst a culture of drug-taking, bullying and tension between school and village, no one is quite who they seem to be, and there are several people who might have wanted Elena to fall…

Goodreads review by Joseph on May 06, 2016
