About this ebook
Just who can you trust when secrets and lies are at the heart of everything. The first book in a new murder-mystery series from Sophie McKenzie, the bestselling author of million-copy-seller, Girl Missing with a twist you won't see coming!
Georgia and Billy have always been the best of friends but when new girl, Wren, arrives at Maywood High, the balance of their friendship is tested. And, unbeknown to the new trio, Wren and Georgia have a secret history.
When auditions for the school play take place and Wren gets the main part, divisions become even wider. Then Georgia finds the drama teacher, dead, but his body vanished, and no one believes her.
Just where is the teacher? Is he really dead? When people start to receive sinister messages from his phone, the three new friends set out to get to the bottom of it all.
