The Broken Girls
by Simone St. James
The Broken Girls by Simone St. James is a chilling blend of mystery, historical fiction, and supernatural horror. The dual timeline—flipping between 1950s Idlewild Hall and Fiona Sheridan’s 2014 investigation—keeps the suspense high. The eerie, Gothic atmosphere is immersive, and the ghostly presence of Mary Hand adds an unsettling layer to the story. The characters, particularly the girls at Idlewild, are compelling, each with a tragic backstory that tugs at the heart.
I had so many plot questions and St. James seemed to answer them all with the satisfying conclusion. St. James masterfully intertwines past and present, crafting a story that is both haunting and heartbreaking. Fans of psychological thrillers with a ghostly twist will find this a rewarding read.
Rating: 4.25 stars – atmospheric, suspenseful, and deeply engaging.
