Eve teaches mathematics at a high school still recovering from a student-teacher scandal, and she is certain the girl at its centre cannot be trusted.
Freida McFadden divides the ground between what the town believes about Addie and what Addie knows about everyone else. Classroom routine, staffroom gossip and a marriage that looks steady from outside all come under strain as the old rumours resurface. The narration alternates and withholds just enough to keep the reader reassessing who is being protected, who is lying, and who has been waiting a long time to settle a score.
What it brings to a collection:
• A school setting where reputation does more damage than evidence
• Two narrators whose accounts of the same scandal refuse to match
• A revenge plot that builds through ordinary school-day scenes
• Received a starred review in Publishers Weekly
Suits readers of psychological suspense who like unreliable narration, and fans collecting McFadden's standalone thrillers. Order from Boipoka.
