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....

Just finished this listen. Has kept me gripped from the first chapter. I really love this author . This is probably my favourite so far . I like the dual timeline and how it all comes together. I was a full time boarder and the girls comraderie took me back . We had a school ghost too .
The book is full of tension , creepy , unsettling, suspenseful and tragic too. There's a touch of the Woman in Black about it . Highly recommend.

loved it !

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

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
