Idk

I wasn't aware that this was a YA novel until I was already into the story.
A group of teens at an exclusive boarding school sneak out to the woods. While there, they are frightened by voices and overhear a heated conversation. After returning to the dorms, it is revealed that someone was murdered in the woods. Years ago, someone had been strangled on the grounds, and now, there is another victim.
Luke Chase, one of the students, escaped a kidnapping years earlier. He and his friends decide to invesetigate the murder and catch the killer.
A bit far-fetched, and the writing became more juvenile the more I read. The story's conclusion leads me to believe this is the first in a series.
