Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"With swift pacing and sure-footed plotting, a conventional murder mystery laced with a touch of creepiness, and an honest portrayal of hormones outrunning hearts, this is sure to attract a broad fan base," declared The Bulletin in a starred review.

Are the woods behind St. Bede's Academy really haunted, or does bad stuff just happen there? When Calista Wood, a new student, arrives midway through her junior year, St. Bede's feels like a normal school... until she discovers that a girl had disappeared a couple of months earlier. Some kids think she ran away, others think she was murdered, but it's only when Cally starts digging around that she finds the startling truth.

Watch as Cally enters a world of privilege, weekend-long parties, high school romances, and... well-kept secrets. This page-turner will appeal to teens looking for a fast-paced thriller. Written in a voice at once gripping and crystal clear, debut novelist, McCormick Templeman, will take readers on a twisting and turning journey as only a "new girl" can experience.

It's a murder mystery set at a secluded boarding school that churns out academic champions. Stressed out teenagers believing their every move is life or death can be a whole lotta drama, but I found myself sucked into the scene. Some of the escapades the teens engage in might not be appropriate for innocent readers, but anyone that has already received their college acceptance letter should be able to cope with themes. My only criticism, a lot of the boys in this book seem to tousle the sleuth's hair. I don't really find that part very believable. Otherwise, as someone who reads a fair amount of mysteries, I totally encourage everybody to read this book. It was completely satisfying, complex, fast and fun.
