The Breakfast Club meets Agatha Christie.
From the first chapter the reader is brought into the story of 5 students in detention for having a phone in their bags.
When one of the students dies from an allergic reaction a series of events happens that change the other 4 students lives for the worst.
This had me guessing right to the very sad end.
