Publisher's summary

A chilling murder in a prestigious prep school is at the heart of this riveting new novel from acclaimed author Charlie Donlea, featuring forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore and her psychologist partner, Lane Phillips.

Inside the walls of Indiana’s 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 Westmont’s students as a late-night hangout. Here, only one rule applies: don’t let your candle go out - unless you want the Man in the Mirror to find you....

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 house - to kill themselves.

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 hasn’t ended. It thrives on secrecy and silence. And for its players, there may be no way to win - or to survive....

I must say I was a little confused in the beginning, but the book got going I couldn’t stop listening. A little different than story line and I liked that.

Starts slow but ends great

I stumbled upon this author and read the book before this and really liked the characters. I’ll be honest the first few chapters I was a little lost and I didn’t understand but once I got into it a great story unfolded.

Love it!!

This book isn’t a sequel but I think I enjoyed it more since I was already friends with some of the characters from his other books. LOL
I absolutely love how the tangled mess plays out. I love the twists and the misleadings. Charlie Donlea quickly became one of my very favorite authors. He is brilliant!!

Another great story

I'm really liking Rory and Lane, they bounce off each other so well. I wish I could meet someone who cared just a tenth of how he cares for her! on another note this is a great read!!! I finished it in a day n a half.

Eh, it was ok

So long and drawn out, over 100 chapters, it was unnecessary. Narrator did well and the plot was interesting.

Love this writer!

The way the stories build upon other stories, then they all come together is brilliant. I love the “cameos” and use of previous books’ characters. There are a lot of characters but the way the writer introduces them into the story is well done and doesn’t confuse the reader, it flows.
