Fellside
by M. R. Carey
‘It’s a strange thing to wake up not knowing who you are.’
Jess Moulson is found guilty of the murder of Alex Beech, a ten-year-old boy. Alex died in a fire, which apparently Jess started, a crime that she cannot remember committing. She’s sentenced to spend the rest of her life within Fellside, a state-of-the-art maximum-security prison on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. But for how long will Jess live? Wracked with guilt, she sets out to starve herself to death. As Jess edges close to death, she hears voices. And one of those voices seems to be Alex’s, with a special message for Jess. I’ll stop right there, otherwise there’ll be no mystery left in the story.
Mr Carey combines elements of the supernatural (or perhaps paranormal) with the unpleasant reality that is life in Fellside. A very different story from ‘The Girl With All the Gifts’, but just as unsettling.
