Perfect for you if...

  • You love mysteries with multiple suspects and competing motives, where everyone's guilty of something even if they didn't commit murder.
  • You're drawn to ensemble casts where each character feels real and flawed, not just archetypes waiting to be accused.
  • You want a page-turner that respects your intelligence. Clues are there. The question is whether you'll spot them before the reveal.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer mysteries where the detective or investigator is the main character. This one puts the focus on the suspects themselves.
  • You need your endings wrapped up completely. The TV adaptation may scratch a different itch than the book's resolution.
  • You're uncomfortable reading about teenagers in morally grey situations, including drug dealing and blackmail.

About this book

Five students at Bayview High enter detention on Monday afternoon: Bronwyn, a Yale-bound honor student; Addy, the homecoming princess; Nate, who is on probation for dealing; Cooper, a star baseball pitcher; and Simon, creator of the school's gossip app. Simon does not leave the classroom alive. Investigators determine his death was not an accident. Simon had planned to post damaging information about his four high-profile classmates on Tuesday, making each of them suspects in his murder. However, the question remains whether they are the actual killers or convenient suspects while the real murderer remains at large. The story explores the secrets each character holds and how far they might go to protect them. The book has been adapted into a television series.
