If your looking for a page turning plot twisting Psychological Thriller go no further. She Was The Quiet One is all that and more. Two sisters, fraternal twins and complete opposites have been dealt with some unfair things in life but when they land as Sophomores at an expensive boarding school life throws them into a world they are not ready for. A world filled with secrets and people they can’t trust. Will their secrets be revealed, will they find someone to support and believe in them... was it the Quiet One? A must read for those that love a great Suspenseful Thriller!
It takes a LOT for me to be negative about thrillers set in the world of academia but this one did it. Disappointing thriller that is 150 pages too long. Whatever interest I had in the beginning was gone as the story dragged on. Also featured unrealistic characters that didn’t act like real people do.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress for an ARC of this book She Was the Quiet One in exchange for an honest review.
This book follows twin girls, Bella and Rose who start school at a prestigious boarding school. One of them ends up dead and the other is accused of murdering her.
I devoured this book in one day. I was drawn into the story from the first page and this was definitely one of those fast paced, must keep turning those pages books. I just had to know which sister died , as this isn't revealed until the end of the book, I also had a need to know if the other sister really was a murderer. This book was a brilliant thriller and I immensely enjoyed the thrill ride it took me on.
I would and will be definitely recommending this book to any and everyone!

She Was The Quiet One popped up as a suggestion since I’ve just read The Wife Who Knew Too Much and A Stranger on the Beach.
The story begins with a girl being held in her school’s infirmary, under suspicion that she has killed her sister. So you know that one of the twins has died, but not which one or why. The other is being accused of murdering her sister. From there, the story unravels in a style that reminded me of Big Little Lies. Parts are told in real time by each of the twins as well as two of their teachers, interspersed with interviews and testimonies from other secondary characters that take place after the murder.
I found Michele Campbell’s writing to be compelling, and was eager to figure out who died and who killed them. The characters were interesting, if not necessarily likable. Most of the book fell into the “mean girl and victim retaliation” trope.
Overall not my favorite book by this author, but still an entertaining read. Those who like books about boarding school brats will enjoy this one.

4.5 stars. This was a very well read audiobook with an interesting and suspenseful story the whole way through.
I literally wanted to TOSS THIS BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM when I was done! Gah, I won’t say anymore because I don’t want to ruin it for my friends but this hit home for me being a twin I understand how different yet alike you can be. Point of view is everything. Man I really love how Michelle Campbell is able to write every chapter with a cliff hanger. Stayed up till 2:15 am reading - and my body is regretting it this morning. But dang it was so good
Good story, especially liked how it was based in a private NH school.
I really enjoyed the way the author organized the timelines in this one— it kind of starts in the middle while also starting at the beginning. I am kind of a sucker for a book revolved around a boarding school, so I definitely enjoyed that aspect of the novel as well. Even though it’s pretty obvious “who dun it” from the very beginning, the author does not really try to hide who did it, and the novel is more about the psychological manipulation this character was able to pull off.
The reason this could only get three stars for me was that part of it felt almost like it belonged in the YA category. There was also a relationship that I did not find believable in the least which kind of propels half the story.
