The School Run

By: Ali Lowe

Narrated by: Stephanie Tobin

When a group of mothers takes the competition for private schooling too far, the consequences are deadly, in this twisting tale of secrets and betrayal, perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and One of Us is Dead.

Every year, the reputable Queensland institution of St. Ignatius, affectionately called Iggy, hosts a Gala Day. This battle of brains and brawn, where eleven-year-olds vie for a spot inside those hallowed ivory walls, directly affects admissions and determines the path of each and every candidate.

But in the cutthroat environment of elite academia, three mothers will stop at nothing to see their boys succeed. As Gala Day draws near, one scholarly prospect is struck down in a hit-and-run, and as whispers escalate to accusations, scandals, and lies unravel until the only question on everyone's mind is: who will be left standing?

Exploring the dark side of motherhood and the fierce competition that destroys close-knit communities, this chilling descent into the dangers of suburbia will thrill fans of Lisa Jewell and Andrea Bartz.

I love this author but…

Loved the story, until the end. Didn’t like the sinister bits about Kaya- felt like that was throwing too much unnecessary drama in there. Also- the narrator was awful- she didn’t differentiate between characters’ voices like, at all, except for Bec. And the voice for Bec was nauseating. I much preferred the narrator for Ali Lowe’s Trivia Night. But the story kept my attention. I still like this author.
