Instant USA Today Best Seller

"Witty and macabre." (Caroline Kepnes)

"Slick and chilling." (Megan Miranda)

"A perfect summer book." (NPR)

USA Today best-selling author Samantha Downing is back with her latest sneaky thriller set at a prestigious private school - complete with interfer....

Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the prestigious Belmont Academy, home to the best and brightest.

He says his wife couldn’t be more proud - though no one has seen her in a while.

Teddy really can’t be bothered with a few mysterious deaths on campus that’re looking more and more like murder or with the student digging a little too deep into Teddy’s personal life. His main focus is pushing these kids to their full academic potential.

All he wants is for his colleagues - and the endlessly meddlesome parents - to stay out of his way. If not, well, they’ll get what they deserve.

It’s really too bad that sometimes excellence can come at such a high cost.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Holy revenge, Batman! This is a delicious page-turner with so many layers of revenge, you won’t soon forget. I absolutely loved watching how this unfolded starting with a jerk teacher at a prep school who thinks it’s his job to punish others into being better.... I’m super excited about this one so mark your calendars for July 20th.” (BookRiot)

"I'm a huge fan of Samantha Downing, who is masterful at creating diabolical characters and deliciously chilling plots. An absolutely terrific book!" (Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times best-selling author of The Wife Between Us)

"Samantha Downing serves up another cast of deliciously mendacious characters in an exclusive private school setting, where the deadly action drives a brilliantly tense, taut and twisty plot. I may never look at my coffee in the same way again." (Gilly Macmillan, New York Times best-selling author of What She Knew)

Engaging, Easy Read

The best way I can describe this book is as a mix between Breaking Bad and American Vandal. It’s fast paced and entertaining. I did bump the speed up to 1.8 because the reading was a little slow for me. Great story.

Great book, excellent narration

I really enjoyed this book. Each character was interesting and kept me engaged through the entire story. The narrator was excellent, perfect fit for the characters.

enjoyed

This was a good book. I found myself not wanting to turn it off but still thought ending could have been a little more exciting since the book was good. Narrator was excellent

amazing story

this was so worth the listen! tons of twists and turns. the only thing I didn't like was the narrators female voices. iykyk

Excellent storyline!!!!

I absolutely rate this audible book a 5 star!! A prestigious boarding school, a psychopathic teacher and a host of great characters make this book one you will never forget. Hats off to this author for weaving a tale of jealously, insanity , the haves and the have nots! The characters are really brought to life and I LOVED to HATE that Teddy. The narrator did grate on my ears a bit with his voice of a few male characters, but otherwise a good listen.

Fascinating story and narrator

Good old-fashion story telling. No labels like thriller, but very Interesting, almost possible to be based on a real life story. Cleverly written and well developed characters. Although none of the characters were likable😖. Looking forward to the nest Downing and Pittu performance.

Fans of “You” will love this one

At one point I audibly said to myself“oh DANG this is getting good” lol. Like “You” but with more twists and turns 🙌🏼

DARK & SINISTER INDULGENCE

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! PERFECT NARRATOR! DARK AND TWISTED! LOVED IT!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE HBO SERIES!

Good story but fast ending

I really enjoyed this story and the characters and the villain and all the POVs. The only thing I would change is the ending and not change it as in what happen but it’s like we got this ending that was rushed. Like the author was like crap I only have 3 pages left okay here we go then?!

Good story

I enjoyed the story and how the plot unfolded, but WTH with the ending?? It just ended so suddenly I couldn’t believe it!! A little disappointed because I think the author missed out on what could have been 2-4 awesome chapters. Otherwise I didn’t mind that we got everyone’s POV and knew what was going on. It was like watching a good juicy tv show.
