The brand new series from Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch


Illumen Hall is an elite boarding school. Tragedy strikes when the body of a student is discovered at their exclusive summer party - on her back is an elaborate tattoo of a magpie.

When new girl Audrey arrives the following term, running from her own secrets back home in America, she is thrown into solving the case. Despite her best efforts to avoid any drama, her new roommate Ivy was close to the murdered girl, and the two of them can't help but get pulled in.

The two can't stand each other, but as they are drawn deeper into the mystery of this strange and terrible murder, they will discover that something dangerous is at the heart of their superficially perfect school.

Welcome to The Magpie Society.

One for Sorrow will be told via the alternating first person perspectives of the lead characters Audrey - written by Amy - and Ivy - written by Zoe - with the narrative being jointly plotted by both authors.

Mr Tavistock has a Scottish accent one chapter, and a posh English accent the next! The two narrators have definitely not communicated before recording! Not the best American accents either, sadly!

I was really excited for this and I got into it, the story progresses well and you get behind the leading characters. In saying that, the ending was disappointing. Nothing was resolved and there wasn't a big enough of a cliff hanger.

As someone who is dyslexic and finds it hard to read and has poor comprehension this book was perfect for me. The performance is amazing and grabs your attention to each word. The story alone is brilliant, the chapters switch between two characters Audrey and Ivy. Would recommend to people! A great read or listen! Can’t wait for the next one!
