News spreads fast. Gossip spreads faster. Deadly secrets spread fastest of all.

Jane Bryson obeys the rules. A long-standing science teacher at Ravenswood High School, she lives a simple life with her husband Craig and Moose the black Labrador. When free-spirited new English teacher Elena Mayfield joins Ravenswood, Jane’s excited to have a friend who is ready to challenge authority, and Elena’s soon shaking things up.

When Elena starts a controversial club, Jane is ready to support her. When Elena begins an illicit romance with a colleague, Jane is there to help her shield her secret. When people begin asking questions about Elena, Jane backs her all the way.

But the morning after the annual fundraiser, Elena’s body is found crumpled on the soccer field.

It soon becomes clear that not everyone found Elena charming and funny. A thousand people were at the fundraiser: there’s a town full of suspects and a long list of motives. Who was angry with Elena? What had her curiosity and rule-breaking uncovered? Who wanted to shut her up?

Who has told lies they would kill to hide?

A totally gripping psychological suspense novel that you won’t be able to put down, She Lies Alone is a compelling thriller that will keep you turning the pages. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and The Woman in the Window.

She Lies Alone

Review

Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews


First, I want to thank Laura Wolfe, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may provide you with this review. 


She Lies Alone by Laura Wolf read like a Lifetime Movie playing in your mind! Laura brings out the high school drama not only with the students but teachers too. It is an intense, fast paced, suspenseful, incredible read that hits on some important topics.


Right off the bat Laura brings you right into the fast paced story line. The scene is written very descriptively where we learn of the ELA Teachers death. However, it is a mystery throughout the whole book when, why, and how she dies. The reasons will totally shock you as I didn’t even see it coming


There are sensitive topics that She Lies Alone touches on such as Teen Depression. Laura has been affected with this mental illness personally as well as her family members. By Laura writing about it I hope this brings awareness to the topic.


Throughout this book I found so many hidden messages that I loved. One was that the ELA Teacher Elana looked past Rowan’s rough image and background. She took the time let him express himself through poetry. 


International adoption was another important topic that was brought up. That storyline tugged on my heart. The way Laura described those cute adorable babies my heart melted! 


Many I feel will be able to relate to Phoebe’s story in one way or another. It was one of my favorite storylines. Laura did an incredible job pulling out all of her emotions in this storyline.
