She comes up with a plan that’s so crazy, it just might work: She hires an actress to impersonate her for the two-week stint. Sloan Buchanan, the spunky aspiring actress, jumps at the opportunity to use her intensive acting method to sink into this unusual role, and the line between her and her character quickly begins to blur. And Rachel Drake, the no-nonsense detective, is left to put the pieces together.

When a young writer accepts a job at a university in the remote English countryside, it's meant to be a fresh start, away from the bustle of London and the scene of a violent assault she is desperate to forget. But a vicious debate about violence against women inflames the tensions and mounting rivalries in her creative-writing class. When a troubled student starts turning in chapters that blur the lines between fiction and reality, the professor recognizes herself as the main character in his book - and he has written her a horrific fate.

An unexpected Gem
I started this book not really knowing anything about it. I was looking for something to read and a friend suggested it. It was sold to me as a ghost story, which isn't really something that I would normally go for, but the friend suggesting it had never steered me wrong before so I thought I would give it a go.
I won't give a complete synopsis of the book because there are plenty of them provided. In my opinion, this was more a story about a woman in 2014 who is on a quest to find answers about her sisters murder. Along the way, she discovers that a young girl went missing in the 1950's from the boarding school on whose grounds her sisters body was discovered. The story unfolds by alternating between Fiona's point of view and the story of the girls in the boarding school in the 50's. The alternating chapters are done expertly in this novel and the story flows really well.
I did find the beginning a little slow, but once it grabbed me, I was hooked. There is definitely a ghost element to this story, but I thought it was done so well and with subtlety that it appealed to me. The Broken Girls kept me up at night, reading far longer than I ever intended to. It gave me that ..... Ohhh, just one more chapter .... feeling I really enjoy with some books. I will definitely look out for more titles from Simone St. James

Intriguing historical read
Firstly the narrator was fantastic- great speed and provided a nice touch with different accents. The book was a little slow to start but I recommend preserving because I was unable to stop listening from about half way through. The ghosts were a little annoying and sometimes detracted from the story but the characters were strong and the book well written overall. Great book

Great suspense story with a historical background
This is the third time I am trying to submit a review of The Broken Girls, and it disappears every time after I post it - a bit creepy, don't you think? So I will keep it short and sweet as to not offend the ghost of Mary Hand:
With a dual timeline featuring two separate murder mysteries, The Broken Girls is a perfect example on how to incorporate a spooky ghostly element to ratchet up tension without pushing the story too far into the realm of the unbelievable. If you love a good suspense story with a historical background and an atmospheric gothic setting, I urge you to give this a go – even for readers who are not normally fans of the supernatural. For extra goosebumps, read this one alone at night with the wind howling outside and the tap-tapping of spidery branches on the roof – or was it footsteps I heard? I can’t wait to read more from this author!
