Child's Play by Alison Taylor
Surrounded by dense, dark wooland, The Hermitage is an exclusive girls school. One balmy summer's night Sukie Melville leaves her room and vanishes into the woods. The following day her body is pulled from the hungry water of the Menai Strait. Superintendent, Michael McKenna and his team move in to investigate the death. The school's charismatic headmistress insists it was suicide, but McKenna isn't so sure. When McKenna scratches the glossy surface he uncovers a dark and dangerous ethos underpinning the school. Nothing in that hotbed of passionate, brooding resentments is what is seems, and no one can be trusted.
Alison Taylor is the whistleblower who exposed the abuse of children in care in North Wales. Her actions meant she lost her job as a social worker and spent the next ten years fighting for justice. The Government Inquiry that reported in February 2000 vindicated her actions entirely, sparking massive media attention, including front-page headlines in the national press. She has a son and a daughter, and has lived in north Wales for many years. This is her fifth novel.
