A PEOPLE MAGAZINE BEST BOOK OF SUMMER
A READ WITH JENNA JR. SELECTION

Last October, Alice Ogilvies ex-best friend, Brooke Donovan, was killed—and if it werent for Alices unlikely alliance with her tutor, Iris Adams, and her library of the complete works of Agatha Christie, the wrong person would almost certainly be sitting in prison for the crime. The Castle Cove police arent exactly great at solving crimes. In fact, theyre notorious for not solving crimes.

Which is why, on the night of Castle Cove Highs annual Sadie Hawkins dance, Alice takes the opportunity to explore Levy Castle—the site of one of Castle Coves most infamous deaths. Mona Moody—­the classic film star—died there almost a century ago, and Alice is pretty sure the police got that invest­igation wrong, too. But before she can even think about digging deeper, she walks right into the scene of a new crime. Rebecca Kennedy, on the ground in a pool of blood. And standing over Kennedy? Another one of Alices ex-friends—Helen Park.

The Castle Cove Police Department thinks its an open-and-shut case, but Alice and Iris are sure it cant be that simple. Park isnt a murderer—and the girls know all too well that in life, and in mysteries, things are rarely what they appear to be. To understand the present, sometimes you need to look to the past.

Castle Cove is full of secrets, and Alice and Iris are about to uncover one of its biggest—and most dangerous—secrets of all.
