Where sleeping girls lie

,

Borzoi School Book Club Review:

This book was extremely addictive and immediately hooked me in! The buildings in the novel, the homes of the nobility, are described in beautiful detail. The mysterious disappearance of the main character’s room-mate is inticing and draws the reader in. The disturbing nature of the plot twists are in contrast to the setting of the book. This book is about the consequences of priviledge. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who likes mysteries and thrillers. It reminds me of Karen McManus’ ‘One of Us is Lying’.

This was a mistake, the voice in her head whispered. You should never have come… Sade Hussein is the new girl at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy. She has no idea what to expect of her mysterious new boarding school – an institution steeped in tradition and secrets. But she certainly didn’t imagine her roommate, Elizabeth, to go missing on her first night. Or for people to think Sade had something to do with it. Suddenly everyone is talking about Sade, including the Unholy Trinity: the three most popular girls at school. Swept up in their circle, Sade can’t shake the sense that there’s more to Elizabeth’s disappearance – especially as the teachers don’t seem to care. And then a student is found dead.

It’s clear there’s more to Alfred Nobel Academy and its students than Sade could have imagined – and she must race to uncover the truth. But secrets lurk around every corner and beneath every surface…secrets that rival even her own. “With a shock slow-burning reveal at its core, it’s also an uplifting story of survival and hope.” StylistPraise for Ace of Spades “A heart-racing and twisty thriller.” Alice Oseman”Heart-pounding suspense.” Marie Claire “Strong Gossip Girl vibes and a whole lot of mystery.” Buzzfeed
