Merlitt became a detective after dropping out of college. She lost her best friend to a fraternity and that led to her hating fraternities. Now that she’s working a hit and run case in a college town, her suspicion that a fraternity is involved causes waves among the elites at the college.  

The witnesses of the hit and run swear that the person who hit the guy looked just like him. He was even driving the dude's car. What a great premise for a thriller! I was into it and enjoyed it all the way through. The beginning was slow but you could tell it was setting it up for some serious twists later and it definitely delivered.  

I liked this book and recommend it to mystery and thriller readers!
