Full review:

Darling Girls is a slow burn of a story as the horrors of Wild Meadows unfold. It’s also depicts three very different girls and the ways they were affected by their upbringings, their time in the foster system and their experiences with Miss Fairchild.

Hepworth’s newest psychological thriller is engrossing and well-written. I’ve only read one other book by Sally Hepworth, The Good Sister, and I’m reminded of how Hepworth also managed to intertwine a legitimately interesting and thought out story into that mystery as well.

Darling Girls is less twisty than some mystery-thriller novels you’ll find on the shelves, but some of those novels end up feeling like just a collection of plot twists wrapped up in some semblance of a premise. Here, Hepworth has written a solid story that stands on its own and draws you in slowly, with a few twists at the very end.

If you like slow burn mystery thriller novels, Sally Hepworth’s newest book has a lot to offer. I thought the premise was compelling. The mystery itself and twists aren’t too terribly surprising, but I continued to be interested to see where the story was going.

I’d say this wasn’t amazing, but it was an above average mystery thriller and one I’m sure plenty of mystery-thriller fans would enjoy, especially if you don’t mind a slow burn.
