The Counselors
by Jessica Goodman
3.75 rounded up
This YA murder mystery is set in Alpine Lake Camp with 3 friends all from different backgrounds-Imogene, Ava, and Goldie all grow up going to and then become counselors.
Ava is super rich but her dad is a scam artist who commits tax invasion. He also leaves Ava and her mom had an affair with another woman. They have twins and go to the camp.
Imogene is just the 3rd friend??? No major character development there
Goldie the main characters parents work at the camp and they are locals. Goldie gets to go to this rich camp bc of that. Goldie BF Heller gets drunk and almost kills a teammate. Goldie being sober takes the fall, signs an NDA gets community service and the whole town hates her. Stu and Mellie the camp owners take her in and protect her.
Heller ends up being killed. He found out about Ava’s dad committing tax invasion- they want to go think Ava killed him bc it was actually Stu and Mellie bc they were also apart of this tax invasion scheme. Stu and Mellie lock Goldie and Meg (another minor char. You think commited the murder but didn’t) in the dinning hall and set it on fire. Cut to Ava and Imogene saving them, Stu and Mellie confessing and the camp being close.
Cal another minor character who knew the truth about the accident agrees fo help Goldie tell her side of the story.
