The Broken Girls
ByPublisher Description
A journalist uncovers the dark secrets of an abandoned boarding school in this chilling suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel.
Vermont, 1950. There's a place for the girls whom no one wants—the troublemakers, the illegitimate, the ones too smart for their own good. It's called Idlewild Hall, and local legend says the boarding school is haunted. Four roommates bond over their whispered fears, their friendship blossoming—until one of them mysteriously disappears....
Vermont, 2014. Twenty years ago, journalist Fiona Sheridan's elder sister’s body was found in the overgrown fields near the ruins of Idlewild Hall. And although her sister’s boyfriend was tried and convicted of the murder, Fiona can’t stop revisiting the events, unable to shake the feeling that something was never right about the case.
When Fiona discovers that Idlewild Hall is being restored by an anonymous benefactor, she decides to write a story about it. But a shocking discovery during renovations links the loss of her sister to secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the past—and a voice that won’t be silenced....

“March Bookclub /// Kinda confusing and all over the place; maybe my brain doesn’t register suspenseful mysteries as well as I want it to, and maybe that’s okay. Still an interesting read!”

“When journalist Fiona Sheridan searches for clues to her sister's murder at a haunted boarding school, her digging uncovers more deaths and secrets buried long ago.
This book kept me engaged and I couldn’t wait to see what was around the next bend. It’s told from a duel timeline but works and flows very well. Multiple POV’s but again, flows well and is easy to follow.
It has history, found family, grief, death, supernatural themes and romance.
It’s a book that will keep you entertained and can easily be read in a day or so.
I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a who done it with some supernatural elements and strong friendship group. It will definitely have you invested and running to see how it all ends.
