"A riveting tale of love, hate, and murder."—Us Weekly

"Fans of Gillian Flynn, meet your next obsession."—BuzzFeed
Meet Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny.
They first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, despite their many differences. Kate was beautiful, wild, wealthy, and damaged. Aubrey came from the wrong side of the tracks, and wanted more than anything to distance herself from her past. Jenny was brilliant, ambitious, and determined to win big at all costs. As an unlikely alliance formed, Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny swore they would always be friends.
Twenty years later, the three women—all married, and deemed successful by any measure—are together again. But one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge...and someone is urging her to jump. How did it come to this? Who is to blame? Is it true that it's always the husband who commits the worst crimes against his wife—or is someone else behind a sinister plot to tear these three women apart?

      Thrust together as roommates freshman year at New Hampshire’s tony Carlisle College (think Dartmouth) sometime in the 1990s, three wildly disparate young women forge a bond that will shape—and later shatter—their lives in this suspenseful if soapy debut from former federal prosecutor Campbell. You can’t blame emotionally needy scholarship student Aubrey Miller, daughter of a struggling Las Vegas single mom, or even hypercompetent townie Jenny Vega, for being sucked into the orbit of dazzling, daring golden girl Kate Eastman, along with Carlisle’s most eligible males, including fabulously rich Griff Rothenberg and hunky hockey player Lucas Arsenault (who also happens to have been Jenny’s high school crush). But anyone too close to the dangerously troubled Kate risks getting burnt, as evidenced in a shocking tragedy freshman spring—and murder two decades later. Demonstrating diabolical plotting chops and an ability to convincingly conjure settings, Campbell crafts a twisty page-turner that might have been even more powerful if so many of the principals didn’t prove rotten at the core. 100,000 announced first printing. Agent: Meg Ruley, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

      Narrator January LaVoy's considerable talents are a major factor in transitioning this novel successfully from print to audio. The familiar device of college roommates with dark secrets reuniting later in life forms the basis of a mystery that tests the clich� of the husband being the prime suspect when a wife is murdered. LaVoy's skillful use of tone manages to immediately define each of the lead characters. As the plot shifts between college days and the present, LaVoy's clarity and pacing keep the action moving and the shifting settings clear while seamlessly folding new actors into the mix. Listeners who stay with the story will be rewarded by learning whether it really is the husband who did it. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
