The Suicide House was my first Charlie Donlea book but it definitely won't be my last! This was such a compelling thriller and I could not stop reading. I first read an excerpt of this on BookishFirst and I was hooked. Thriller writers have to walk that fine balance of giving us the right amount of information to keep us interested and guessing but withhold enough to have us surprised and shocked. Charlie Donlea does that really well here. I had several evolving theories throughout the book and, while I correctly guessed parts of it at certain times, there were so many surprises and I was definitely left in shock. I absolutely loved the twists and turns and how everything tied together. This is a book I would gladly recommend to add to your TBR!
Thank you to BookishFirst, Kensington Books and Charlie Donlea for this copy in exchange for my honest review.
Plot Synopsis:
Westmont Prep, an elite boarding school in Indiana, was the scene of a gruesome murder of two students. A teacher was convicted of the murder and the case was closed. However, questions remain, particularly since most of the surviving students who were there that night have returned to the scene of the murders to commit suicide.
The murders are now the focus of a hit podcast and new attention is being given to the crime. As more and more outsiders start to look into the case, they are realizing that something just doesn't add up. After yet another tragedy, people are wondering if they really caught the murderer or if that person is still out there waiting to claim another victim.
