Description

The first thrilling instalment in the addictive new series from author duo Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch. A STUDENT FOUND DEAD ON THE BEACH. A WEB OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. SOMEONE POISED TO STRIKE AGAIN. Illumen Hall is a boarding school of tradition and achievement. But tragedy strikes when the body of a student is discovered on the beach - and on her back is an elaborate tattoo of a magpie. For new student Audrey, it is just another strange and unsettling thing about her new surroundings, along with the secrets the school seems to hide and its weird obsession with magpies. For her roommate Ivy, the death of her friend Lola is just one thing she desperately wants to get past - and having a new student asking questions and cluttering up her personal space is not helping a bit. But the two girls are forced into an unlikely alliance when a mysterious podcast airs, with one sinister headline- I KNOW WHO KILLED LOLA. AND ONE OF YOU IS NEXT. Told from two alternating view-points, this is the first book in a modern gothic thriller series that will have you gripped like no other book this year. Welcome to the Magpie Society, your new YA obsession . . .

Reviews

"A nail-biting page turner written with cinematic sparkle, depth, and a heap of charm. Audrey and Ivy feel like living, breathing people, and my heart raced from the first line till the last." Jennifer Niven, #1 bestselling author of All the Bright Places "A thoroughly modern (and deliciously gothic) murder mystery - think Serial at Malory Towers - The Magpie Society had me hooked from the very first page." Katie Lowe, author of The Furies
