The Broken Girls by Simone St. JamesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a captivating duel-timeline ghost story that kept you interested right until the ending. Set at a girls' boarding school in a remote community where isolation ruled. The girls were sent to this school because they had nothing, they either had behavioral problems, no money, no family or some other unspoken issue that needed them out of sight. When one of the girls goes missing as she was returning back to school from a visit to relatives, the police investigate and come up with no explanation. In the current day timeline, a reporter whose older sister was also at the school and who was killed, begins to investigate the events surrounding that time as the school is being scheduled for a reopening.
The back and forth between the timelines was incredibly well done and drove the story line forward. The mystery keeps you guessing and there are many twists and turns throughout the story.
Highly recommend and anticipating the next book by Simone St. James.
