A new favorite author! After shamefully offering a two star rating on an excerpt, I need to walk or perhaps run back my dismal rating and "eat crow."

The Suicide House is a chilling tale of murders at a prestigious preparatory school and the people who are tasked to solve the case that has since gone cold. Rory Moore, a forensic reconstructionist, together with her partner Lane Phillips, are brought on the case to reconstruct clues and evidence in the hopes that the case can finally be solved and closed.

A gripping mystery-thriller. You won't be disappointed if you enjoy this genre. You will be captured by the intensity of the narrative until the end. Five stars which is a drastic change from my initial assessment. I thoroughly enjoyed The Suicide House and look forward to reading more from the author, Charlie Donlea.
