In Where Sleeping Girls Lie—a YA contemporary mystery by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, the New York Times-bestselling author of Ace of Spades—a girl new to boarding school discovers dark secrets and coverups after her roommate disappears.

It’s like I keep stumbling into a dark room, searching for the switch to make things bright again...

Sade Hussein is starting her third year of high school, this time at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy boarding school after being home-schooled all her life. Misfortune has been a constant companion all her life, but even Sade doesn’t expect her new roommate, Elizabeth, to disappear after Sade’s first night. Or for people to think she had something to do with it.

With rumors swirling around her, Sade catches the attention of the girls collectively known as the ‘Unholy Trinity’ and they bring her into their fold. Between learning more about them—especially Persephone, who Sade is inexplicably drawn to—and playing catchup in class, Sade already has so much on her plate. But when it seems people don't care enough about what happened to Elizabeth to really investigate, it's up to she and Elizabeth's best friend to solve it.

And then a student is found dead.

As they keep trying to figure out what’s going on, Sade realizes there’s more to Alfred Nobel Academy and its students than she thought. Secrets lurk around every corner and beneath every surface…secrets that rival even her own.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends.

I loved this book. From the story, down to the descriptions, down to the audible narration. There was never a dull moment listening to this. Best characters were Bas and Sade without a doubt. There were some sections that came off as a horror ghost story which I liked. great novel!

Great Thrill

The twists and turns!

From start to finish, this book kept me grasped and interested that it became impossible to keep my promise to only listen to this while at work. It became apparent that I would, in the end, break that promise and finish it the next day.
The characters felt more than real, almost as if I was listening to a retelling of true events. From hearing about the missing friend, Elizabeth, and then to why she went missing? Let alone how it even got to that point? The whole book is absolutely fascinating and will keep you interested.
The ending is about as happy as such events can get, but hopefully this book helps people understand more about these issues, and how they do affect real people as well.
Where Sleeping Girls Lie is a fantastic novel about those pressing issues seen around the world, one that although gets frequently ignored most of the time, is absolutely not something we should be quiet about. And this book tells that message strongly.

A Beautiful Tale About Real Problems
