******
This story catapults you into a world where there is loss, neglect and unfulfilled longings of some of the characters that makes them all suspects in a string of murders on a college Campus. The characters leap off the page and make a definite impact that I made me constantly trade on and off who I thought was the killer. This book lives up to every promise of a book expected to be written by Author Michaelides; leaving you breathless and wanting your next fix as soon as you finish. Alex Michaelides is a master at his craft and he’s an Author that is an auto-buy.
