SPOILERS!!!
We discover that the world of the Starlings is not so perfect as we thought, and almost every character has secrets. I was also surprised to discover that the victim is Katrim, who is thought to have been pushed from the top of the tower. Thankfully, she is not dead, and in hospital she is in an induced coma.
DS Ali Samson and DI Dave Trelawney investigate teh case. We already knew DS Samson when she visited the neighbourhood to warn Frida about her petty theft, and Frida was so ashamed that she gave everything back. And she also came when Thomas, the grounds manager, disappeared overnight, just leaving a message, apologising to Katrim.
One of the perople who seem to hide a lot is Ginny. Ginny, the older woman, has become close to Katrin. The Golds intended to turn the tower into a games room, but they had to have the asbestos and the starlings removed, so Ginny volunteered to talk to the authorities, but she did nothing, because there is something there that she wants to be kept hidden. There is something serious that she doesn't want anybody to know. When Ann brings one of the women who was in the home for single mothers, she gets upset, and she confesses to having had a child in the home as well. Yet, I think she is hiding more because she keeps thinking that if the truth comes out, people will despise. Maybe she was one of the horrible nurses?
And now that Katrin is in hospital, she has hidden something in one of Amelie's drawers. Could it be Katrim's phone? The police say that an identified call was received about Katrim's fall from her phone.
And Ginny has been against old Thomas since the beginning, claiming that he was a drunkard. I think that Thomas's disappearance is connected to her.
Bill, Katrim's husband, has secrets of his own. We know that he has been unfaithful to Katrim several times, but she has always forgiven him. Then when he is supposed to be on business, Anne calls Katrim to tell him that he has seen Bill in a hotel, and a friend of hers has told her that he is staying in the honeymoon room with a woman. When Katrim receives the call, Ginny is with her. Katrin expresses her intention to leave Bill, but Ginny persuades her to stay with him, prepare herself financially and get pregnant. Katrin obeys her, and she gets pregnant, and behind his back he organises the accounts, so when she leaves him, she is protected financially.
Then when Amelie announces that she is pregnant, something that it was difficult because Hugo has fertility problems, Katrim remembers that Amelie was gone, supposedly to rehab, when Bill was with his lover. So Katrin is convinced that Amelie's child is her husband's. So Katrin has every intention to leave him when she has her own child.
Amelie has her baby, but she is still hooked on cocaine. It is not a secret that she loathes Katrin, and even though Katrin does everything to sort out their problems, nothing happens.
And Frida feels lonely both at home and at school. The only two people who support are Ginny and Katrin, but her own mother has no interest in her. And at school her friends have cut all ties with her, claiming that she is a liar. From what we have gathered, Frida had a relationship with someone from the boys' school as both schools share the refectory. She told her friends, who didn't keep quiet, and when she was asked by the headmistress, she had to lie and deny the truth, and that is why she was expelled. I am sure that Barney is a teacher. After returning to school, she has kept seeing Barney, but when she returns home, Barney has blocked her, and maybe he got her pregnant? It seems that Frida and Katrin had a disagreement the night of the party because she remembers shouting at her that she wasn't her mother.
