Description from Goodreads:
"THERE ARE MORE THAN JUST SECRETS BURIED IN THESE WALLS
It's the day of the demolition at White Cross Academy, and a crowd of former pupils and teachers have gathered to watch. But as the final charges are laid in the basement, the crew make a shocking discovery - a human skull.
Former student DI Jennie Whitmore is assigned to the case, her first big murder investigation and one where there can be no room for mistakes. The remains are identified as Hannah Jennings, a popular, but troubled classmate who went missing during her lower Sixth year.
As news of the body's discovery soon leaks, the small town erupts with intrigue, conspiracy and accusation. Jennie now finds herself at the heart of the storm, tasked with making up for the failings of the initial investigation to ensure that justice is finally done. At the centre is Hannah's five closest friends who used the basement as a base for the photography club.
Jennie knows many of the suspects personally and she is convinced that one of this group of five knows the truth about what happened to the wilful, beguiling teenager. As Jennie unearths secrets buried deep, and lies repeatedly told, the assembled friends must reassess their past, before confronting the terrible realisation that one amongst them would rather kill to protect their new life, than pay for the sins of their teenage years."

I am a fan of M.J. Arlidge and had read a number of his books over the years and have enjoyed them all; I have not read anything by Steph Broadribb before so she is a new author to me but it seemed a no-brainer to read something that they have both collaborated on and I wasn't disappointed.
I read this book in a day - I was on holiday so didn't have the usual daily grind so was able to sit in the sun and lose myself in this riveting book.
With great characters, an intriguing plot, fast pace and twists and turns, this is a book that I literally couldn't put down and I was gripped from start to finish and I have no hesitation in recommending this to others.
Thanks to the authors, Orion Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this intriguing murder mystery.
