From #1 International Bestseller Charlie DonleaâA chilling murder in a prestigious prep school is at the heart of this riveting new suspense novel thatâs perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware. Forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore and her psychologist partner, Lane Phillips, must chase down the truth behind the ghastly killings featured on the hit true crime podcast sweeping the nation. Can they uncover the hidden secrets of the school and the psychology of a killer before the next episode airs?
Â
Inside the walls of Indianaâs elite Westmont Preparatory High School, expectations run high and rules are strictly enforced. But in the woods beyond the manicured campus and playing fields sits an abandoned boarding house that is infamous among Westmontâs students as a late-night hangout. Here, only one rule applies: donât let your candle go outâunless you want the Man in the Mirror to find you. . . .
Â
One year ago, two students were killed there in a grisly slaughter. The case has since become the focus of a hit podcast, The Suicide House. Though a teacher was convicted of the murders, mysteries and questions remain. The most urgent among them is why so many students who survived that horrific night have returned to the boarding houseâto kill themselves.
Â
Rory, an expert in reconstructing cold cases, is working on The Suicide House podcast with Lane, recreating the night of the killings in order to find answers that have eluded the school, the town, and the police. But the more they learn about the troubled students, the chillingly stoic culprit, and a dangerous game gone tragically wrong, the more convinced they become that something sinister is still happening. Inside Westmont Prep, the game hasnât ended. It thrives on secrecy and silence. And for its players, there may be no way to winâor to survive. . . .
Â
âMultiple intertwining story lines keep the pacing brisk and the tension high throughout. But the bookâs real strength is the idiosyncratic Rory, who suffers from OCD and is on the autism spectrum, a deeply developed character readers canât help rooting for. Hopefully, sheâll be back soon.â
