Book Review: The Ledge by Christian White

The Ledge is a tense fast-paced thriller that had me hooked from the first page.

After human remains are found in a forest a group of friends are worried their secrets from the past are about to be revealed.

I loved the dual timelines in this story and I was really invested in the 1999 time period and what had happened between the boys back then. Knowing a twist was coming I was trying to pick up on clues, but I completely failed. With hindsight I can see them, but Christian White is the master of misdirection and red herrings and he reeled me in hook, line and sinker!

The pace of the book is fantastic, it starts slow and then builds in intensity with descriptions of the rain and the forest adding to the atmosphere.

I recommend this to anyone who likes tense thrillers with twists you won’t see coming!

Here’s the synopsis

When human remains are discovered in a forest, police are baffled, the locals are shocked and one group of old friends starts to panic. Their long-held secret is about to be uncovered.

It all began in 1999 when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home, drawing his friends into an unforeseeable chain of events that no one escaped from unscathed.

In The Ledge, past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a climax that will change everything you thought you knew. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected.
