elaborate ruse? And how far will they go to protect their house of
cards?

My Thoughts
I have read many of Irene Hannon's novels and so I was intrigued by the setting of this book most of all. Any mystery set in a boarding school is an automatic read for me. So I did love the setting and the overall mysterious story line side of things. I liked the characters okay. I didn't think Cate being undercover was particularly clever and how in the world did no one realize what was going on? There is suspense but really quite early in the book there is a dead giveaway away as to who is behind it all. So unfortunately for me the ending wasn't surprising at all and really the mystery of it all went down hill on the second part of the book. I really wanted to love this book but I just had a difficult time with it. I know many others have loved this book so it simply wasn't for me. I enjoy many of Hannon's other novels and will continue to read what comes out next.
Three Stars.
