Summary: From the author of It's Always the Husband comes a riveting new suspense novel about privilege, power, and what happens when we let ambition take control.
When twin sisters Rose and Bel Enright enroll in The Odell School, a prestigious New England boarding school, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. But the sisters could not be more different. The school brings out a rivalry between them that few ever knew existed. And the school itself has a dark underbelly: of privileged kids running unchecked and uninhibited; of rituals and traditions that are more sinister than they seem; of wealth and entitlement that can only lead to disaster.
For Sarah Donovan, wife of an ambitious teacher who is determined to rise through the ranks, Odell also seems like the best thing that could happen to their small family. But how well does she really know her husband? What lengths will he go to to achieve his goals? And when one dark night ends in murder, who is guilty, who knows the truth, and who has been in on it all along? SHE WAS THE QUIET ONE. Because murderers are almost never who you expect.
In a novel full of twists, turns, and dark secrets, Michele Campbell once again proves her skill at crafting intricately spun and completely compelling plots.
Review:
This book from the beginning was very gripping. I found it really easy to get into and I really didn't want to put down. Unfortunately I have a day job that requires me to go to it and a boyfriend that also requires attention. But I cannot wait to get further into this book. Honestly this book is one of the best books I have read so far this year. I absolutely couldn't put it down. The end was great. The killer was kind of easy for me to tell. But sometimes that is the easy part. There were bits where I didn't think the cops were going to do their job. I think one of my favorite parts is the fact that I got so into it at the end that I forgot about the anonymous emails. Then boom the very last thing that happens the best thing. You find out who sent it. It is absolutely beautiful. I was just left there like... I thought.. but... How... It was fantastic. I loved this book. The characters were great. I absolutely recommend reading this book.
