Editorial review:
AWARD-WINNING THRILLER
"Set at an exclusive New Zealand boarding school, THE WRONG GIRL by Yvonne Eve Walus takes readers deep into a world where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide. Walus's fascinating setting, twisty plot, and complicated characters make this book a must-read." - Karen Dionne, author of the #1 international bestseller THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER and THE WICKED SISTER
"Intricately plotted and well-written, THE WRONG GIRL is a fascinating take on a world where appearances can be deceiving, everyone is up to something, and only Constable Zero Zimmerman, in the middle of a messy mix of her own personal problems, can sort out what's true." Ellen Baker, author of "Keeping the House" and "The Hidden Life of Cecily Larson"
"Yvonne Walus's latest thriller is a clever, fast-paced story about identity, temptation, and deceit. The Wrong Girl has everything: a great plot, a colourful cast of characters, an intriguing setting. A real page-turner." Rose Carlyle, author of "The Girl in the Mirror"
She's hiding from the one man who can't let her go.
At 15, she changed her name, her hair, and even her life-fleeing to an elite boarding school for difficult girls in New Zealand, always ready to run again. But when a classmate is poisoned, one question haunts her: did her father come for her-and make a terrible mistake?
Enter Zero Zimmerman, a female police officer assigned to the case because "it's not important" and police officers play power games too. Zero's gift as a human lie detector makes her unstoppable on the job, but her messed-up family dynamics tell another story. Zero's own sister sits in jail for a crime she didn't commit, and their parents secretly pin the blame on the wrong daughter. Now, as Zero digs deeper, she confronts a trail of deception and hidden identities where no one quite fits society's boxes.
In a world divided between rigid gender definitions and the mantra to "live your truth," some simply want to live-no labels, no expectations.
