Bit of a slow start, but this was easily my favorite of Simone St. James’s books so far. WWII history, a ghost story, and a modern-day murder mystery all piled into one. Fun!

I just tried to read this book and when I opened it on my kindle it said it was 100% complete. According to my goodreads, which I have for this exact reason, I read it over 4 years ago. I have absolutely no memory of anything that happened in this book. Should I read it again?
This was such a great read, and I would absolutely recommend it! The blend of past and present timelines had me worried the story might feel disjointed, but instead, every time jump added to the excitement! I was initially skeptical about how Simone would weave together elements like WWII, a haunted boarding school, a murder, and a ghost, but she exceeded my expectations. Her research really shows she had a great plan when writing and she masterfully tied everything together. Each chapter felt like uncovering a new secret, with plot twists that caught me completely off guard.
