Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Ian Smith for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This is a mystery that involves so-called final clubs at Harvard University and takes place in 1988. Spenser Collins was raised by a single mother in Chicago so is the least likely prospect to be "punched" by the Delphic Club - given an invitation to join the process of possibly being picked to be a member of this exclusive club. Dalton is the son of Harvard legends and is Spenser's opposite but the two become close friends. Dalton's aged uncle belonged to the Delphics and Dalton believes he is a member of the Ancient Nine - an ultra-secret group of the club in charge of all its secrets.
This is a good mystery as the two friends investigate all the secrets. I enjoyed less the portrayal of women in this book - naked women as prizes for winning a contest? The beginning of the book said it was based on real events so I would have loved to know more about that.
