4*
1950 - At the crumbling Idlewild Hall school for unwanted girls, four room-mates begin to bond over dark secrets and whispered fears - until one of them mysteriously disappears . . .
2014 - Journalist Fiona Sheridan can't get over the murder of her sister twenty years ago, near the ruins of Idlewild. And when another body is found during renovations of the school, she begins to uncover horrors that were meant to remain hidden - and a voice that won't be silenced.
A solid story set in an eerie old school, which many times is extremely atmospheric and so spooky you can actually feel the uneasiness eminating from the page.
The different timelines are well written and not confusing in the least, you always know what’s going on in regards to the past and present and it blends well, within each year.
The characters were nicely described and likeable, I especially liked the 1950 girls as they were so full of attitude and strength despite the harrowing ordeals they suffered.
All in all, a spooky story, with a decent pace and an interesting plot, well worth a read.
