About this listen

They won't forgive. They won't forget.

1950. At the crumbling Idlewild Hall school for unwanted girls, four roommates 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 20 years ago, near the ruins of Idlewild. And when another body is found during renovations of the school, she'll begin to uncover secrets that were meant to remain hidden in the past - and a voice that won't be silenced....

For fans of Lisa Jewell and S. K. Tremayne, The Broken Girls is a chilling story of murder, revenge and a darkness that refuses to stay buried....

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve always liked stories that have a duel timeline and this was very very good.

Excellent!

I really enjoyed this, surprisingly gripping and easy listening. My only gripe would the awful sound effect used for phone calls in the narration. Was very irritating

Surprised

Simone St. James is becoming one of my favourite authors. Just as good as the Sundown motel this novel had be gripped me from start to finish.
I only gave it a 4 star on the performance as the ‘phone voice’ wasn’t necessary.

Another fab book …

First story I've read by this author and really enjoyed it. Loses a star only because I wanted more about Mary Hand and felt the story trailed off sometimes but overall a good listen with a good mix of crime and supernatural.

Chilling and captivating

I just couldn’t put the book down. A real page turner. Although I could have done with the spooky stuff being more spookier but I lived the story overall.

A great read!

Loved it! The narration speed was perfect. Loved the characters and there wasn't a single boring moment. Love the dual time and character perspectives too.

Great Book

Sarah Borges did an excellent job narrating this captivating, spooky story. Enjoyed every minute of it. If you loved Simone’s The Sunset Motel you’ll love this one too.

Captivating
