Secrets don't die.
It’s the first week of senior year at Meadowbrook Academy. For Amy and her best friend Sarah, that means late-night parties at the boathouse, bike rides through their sleepy Connecticut town, and the crisp beginning of a New England fall.
Then tragedy strikes: Sarah and her boyfriend are brutally murdered in their dorm room. Now the week Amy has been dreaming about for years has turned into a nightmare, especially when all eyes turn to her as the culprit. She was Sarah’s only roommate, the only other person there when she died—or so she told the police to cover for her own boyfriend’s suspicious whereabouts. And even though they were best friends, with every passing day, Amy begins to learn that Sarah lied about a lot of things.
Liz, editor of the school newspaper and social outcast, is determined to uncover the truth about what happened on campus, in hopes her reporting will land a prestigious scholarship to college. As Liz dives deeper into her investigation, the secrets these murdered seniors never wanted out come to light. The deeper Liz digs, the messier the truth becomes – and with a killer still on campus, she can’t afford to make any mistakes.

      Goodman (The Legacies) shocks in the opening sequence of this gruesome murder mystery in which 17-year-old Amy Alterman, a senior at upper-class Connecticut boarding school Meadowbrook Academy, awakens to find her roommate, Sarah Oliver, and Sarah’s boyfriend, Ryan Pelham, blood-soaked and dead in Sarah’s bed. The scene then shifts to school newspaper editor Elizabeth Charles, who’s writing in her office when she learns of Sarah and Ryan’s deaths. The mystery of what happened to the teens unfolds via Amy and Liz’s alternating POVs, during which Amy, devastated by a fight she and Sarah had the night before Sarah’s death, struggles to accept that her best friend is gone; and Liz, following her reportorial instincts, begins investigating, hoping to write an article worthy of landing a college scholarship. As Liz unearths new information, Amy—the primary suspect—strives to prove her innocence, despite her own misgivings surrounding the suspicious disappearance of her own boyfriend, Joseph Stone. Liz’s inquiry and Goodman’s adroit examination surrounding the ethics of gathering evidence and disseminating news elevates the familiar posh boarding school mystery plot. Major characters cue as white. Ages 14–up. Agent: Alyssa Reuben, WME.
