7.30.2018 - She Was the Quiet One

She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Michele Campbell for the opportunity to read and review her latest thriller - I loved it!  Maybe I was just in the mood for some snarky mean rich girl boarding school tales, but I couldn't put this book down - 4.5 stars!

Twins, Bel and Rose are sent to the prestigious Odell School by their grandmother after their mother died.  The girls' father was already deceased so they were now orphans.  The book opens with the murder of one of the girls - but we don't know which one nor who committed the murder.  The girls have some sibling rivalry which gets much worse when they get to Odell and find very different friends.

Sarah and Heath Donovan are teachers at Odell, recently promoted to be the head of the dorm where both girls live.  Heath is very driven to succeed at Odell and has lofty ambitious.  Sarah is content to be a teacher and mom to their two small children.

Told in different viewpoints with police interviews mixed in, this book really kept me intrigued to find out all of the answers.
