True crime podcasts, a prep school with questionable history, murders, and a quirky forensic specialist make this complex suspense uniquely entertaining.

I find Charlie Donlea's writing style engaging and easy to get lost in. The chapters are short and the pacing steady.

The timeline alternates between the summer of 2019, with a supposedly solved murder now called into question, and the summer of 2020, with old secrets unraveling and several more deaths. I thought the dual timelines worked well for building tension throughout.

The Suicide House is the second Rory Moore/Lane Phillips novel. While Some Choose Darkness, book one, is a great read, it's not necessary to have read that one first. Both novels work well as stand-alone reads.
