Description
'All I can say is WOW. I was immediately glued to the pages. This is one of the best books I've read this year... The authors did such a great job of describing the setting that I even felt like I was back in high school... Perfect... I highly recommend this one!' Reader Review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A skull looks up at Jennie from the trench, but it's not the chalk-white bone and grimacing teeth that send her reeling. It's the heart-shaped gold pendant, its delicate chain snapped in two. The necklace Hannah never took off. It can't be Hannah. But it is.
When Jennie Whitmore arrives at her school reunion, she immediately regrets her decision. Why would she choose to surround herself with people who were never nice to her? Who still aren't, even now she's a police officer? The only person who truly looked out for her all those years ago was charming, beautiful Hannah. Until the day she disappeared.
Jennie is ready to finally put White Cross Academy behind her, the old school building demolished the morning after the party. But with the demolition comes a call: a teenage girl's remains have been found on the grounds.
The instant drop in Jennie's gut tells her that the remains might be Hannah's, but when she's called in to examine them, the truth becomes undeniable. Hannah didn't run away and abandon Jennie thirty years ago; in fact, she never left White Cross at all.
Suddenly, Jennie has a murder to solve. The murder of her best friend. But can she do so before her colleagues discover just how closely connected she is to the victim? Before a mystery stalker makes good on his threats to silence her for good?
The Reunion is a gripping mystery perfect for fans of THE SANATORIUM, Lucy Foley, and Ruth Kelly.

The Reunion is a chilling murder mystery that reminds me of works by Lucy Foley and BA Paris. I greatly enjoyed it. A five star read.

Really enjoyed “The Reunion” my first M.J Aldridge read and it certainly won’t be my last!
Fast paced and thrilling! I can see this becoming a brilliant tv adaptation! I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and every time I thought I’d grasped where the story was going, it threw me in a totally different direction! Had me hooked from beginning to end! Thank you to the publishers and to NetGalley for my ARC!
Highly recommended!

The Reunion by new to me authors M. J. Arlidge and Steph Broadribb, published by Orion Publishing Group is a masterpiece at writing a goosepump inducing crime/thriller.
A fantastic read that had me right from the start. Suspenseful, complex, full of twists that had me guessing til the last page.

This was my first M.J. Arlidge book and all I can say is, I will be reading more! I loved this book and read it in one day. Jennie, Lottie, Elliott and Simon - loved Jennie. Lottie worked my last nerve with her but but do you know I am, which made the book even better!!!
I will definitely be reading more of this author!

I am a big fan of MJ Arlidge, having read all the Helen Grace books, so I was keen to get my hands on this collaboration. It’s a brilliant read, with a host of highly developed characters, a gripping plot, suspense, menace and plenty of twists and turns. It was these intense twists that kept me guessing and fully engaged to the very end, and end which, I have to say, was just perfect! A very highly recommended read.
