Our Booksellers says…
“Jess Wong and Angie Redmond are inseparable friends, but Jess wishes their friendship was something more. Unfortunately for Jess, Angie is falling fast for Margot, a mysterious student of an infamously snobby prep school. Jess can tell that Margot is hiding something, something sinister. But how can she make Angie see the truth?
A Line in The Dark is an unsettling read, one that has no true heroes. Each character battles their own insecurities and struggles to find their place in each others’ lives. Jess is a great unreliable narrator, one who creeped me out in one scene only to win back my sympathy in the next. This is a worthy read for fans of Malinda Lo as well as character-focused mysteries.”
