Description: With a fall from the third storey of a Dunedin flat, the cause of death for law student Ashleigh Marlow is not under question, but whether it was suicide, an accident or murder, is. Narrated in the most part by Xander, Ashleigh’s med student boyfriend, there are more questions than answers and if required, a deep pool of potential suspects. Clever, chilling and with its convincing portrayal of Dunedin student life, this is an intriguing psychological thriller that will have you speed reading to the very last page.

Comments from BDS Reviewers:

"I thought it was very relatable to a NZ audience, with some well written characters with depth."

"An easy, engrossing read, with a good pace and a few suspenseful plot twists ... I was hooked from the first page."
