Synopsis (publisher)

When human remains are discovered in a forest, police are baffled, the locals are shocked and one group of old friends starts to panic. Their long-held secret is about to be uncovered.

It all began in 1999 when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home, drawing his friends into an unforeseeable chain of events that no one escaped from unscathed.

In The Ledge, past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a climax that will change everything you thought you knew. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected. 

My Take

The blurb is right - this novel is mind-bending. Just as you thought you had it all worked out, there  is another solution. As you protest but... but .... but, you concede it is all there in plain sight.  

This is his best novel yet.

At the end, think about the discussion questions provided after the novel finishes.

My rating: 5.0
