What to expect
The higher you climb, the greater the fall.
I would never have been hired if they knew what I’d done. My past.
St Anne’s is a strict environment, and after one year in the coveted position of head teacher, I know I can’t put a foot wrong.
Some don’t think I deserve this. Others are desperate for the job themselves.
And one of those people wants to bring me down.
Whoever this person is, they know things about me. Secrets I’ve barely told anybody.
And I’m scared what they might uncover if they delve a little deeper.
And what they might do to me – and my family – if I don’t get to them first…
An unputdownable and tense psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat, from bestselling author H. M. Lynn.

This is the first book I have listened to by this author and I loved it! Fast paced, plenty of twists and turns and I couldn't predict the outcome which is always a bonus! Lovely narration too.
