She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell

4.0

Good psychological thriller. After the death of their parents (several years apart), twins Bel and Rose are sent to Odell boarding school. Bel and Rose are very different from each other, and have different friends and experiences. Definitely two different personalities with these two.

However, it’s not all fun and games at the boarding school. As you’d expect, there are mean girls, in and out groups, controversies, and crimes. Sarah and her husband, Heath, are newly arrived dormitory heads, and they play pivotal roles in this thriller. Told from different perspectives, some of which include police interrogations, the reader weaves the tale as they go to reconstruct the crime.

This one starts slowly, and I think readers will be able to narrow down the suspect list. But, I enjoyed the character development and plot, and the author does a nice job of describing scenery and with dialog.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for my advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
