In 1994, Jennie Whitmore was meant to runaway to London with Hannah, her best friend. Jennie’s life hasn’t been a very happy one. After her father’s death, Jennie’s mother turned to drink.
That fateful night, Jennie waited for Hannah, but she never turned up. No one has seen her since.
2024. Jennie, now a DI for Major Crime Unit in White Cross, attends a school reunion. She doesn’t really want to go, but she’s hoping that maybe someone has heard from Hannah. She drinks far too much but ends up talking to some of her old friends, where they discuss the upcoming demolition of their old school, the White Cross Academy.
The next morning, Jennie receives a phone call that remains have been discovered on the demolition site. Is it Hannah?
I really enjoyed this tense thriller.
It took Jennie to a quite uncomfortable place, as she had to interview people she considered her friends. However, she soon discovered that all of them were lying.
Jennie was adamant that she had to get justice for Hannah, and I really admired that quality in her. She was determined to get to the truth.
I definitely recommend this book.
