The Beauty of the End, by Debbie Howells

A moving and powerful story of Noah's relationship with Grace, from adolescence, when he, an unpopular and bullied outsider, is smitten and besotted by the goddess he perceives her to be, to an excavation of secrets in a search for the truth as a desperate situation unfolds. What has Grace been hiding and what has been haunting her? What is his old school friend, Matt's, role in this? This is a taut and intelligently crafted story, a psychological thriller to keep the reader guessing, and a compelling read.
