The Lightning Girl

A twenty year old mystery. A teenage girl struck by lightning and the righting of past wrongs. ‘Just wait until I tell you all about what lightning can do . . .’Some called her the lightning girl. The one who survived the storm. I called her my best friend. Everyone remembers the day Gen was struck by lightning. Few remember what really happened after she disappeared, leaving behind a town full of secrets. Now I’m back, and the whispers about that summer are haunting me again. I can see the truth taunting me in the shadows. I need answers. Someone out there knows what happened to the girl who vanished. Someone wants those secrets to stay buried. Whatever it takes. PRAISE FOR SAM RIPLEY AND THE RULE OF THREE: ‘The Rule of Three is a completely original, nuanced, one-sitting read that blew me away.
