The Beauty of the End
$9.99
A gripping psychological thriller from Debbie Howells, author of The Bones of You
I was fourteen when I fell in love with a goddess ...
Ex-lawyer Noah has never forgotten his first love. So when, years later, he hears that she's suspected of murder, he knows with certainty that she's innocent. Some knowledge is instinctive. With April on life support and all the evidence pointing towards her guilt, he's compelled to help her. Yet he's also unprepared, as he's forced to confront what happened between them all those years ago.
Meanwhile, troubled teenager Ella has her own secrets to tell. But no one will listen to her. She's the same age as April was when Noah first met her, and what Ella knows is key to finding the real murderer.
But as Noah and Ella's stories converge there will be shocking consequences as, at last, the truth emerges.
Or so everyone believes . . .
