"I gravitate to campus mysteries and murders due to the sheer complexities of the mind at that age. When I saw the title of this book, I didn’t bother reading the synopsis because it had me hooked and I was committed to reading it no matter what!<br/><br/>The story was mid to fast paced of a male student hosting a podcast about a 3yo cold case Murder of a sorority girl. There is much opposition to his podcast from the sorority but when he lands an ex Marshall to interview on the show, she becomes invested in the murder and also has doubts on what happened to the victim. It doesn’t take long before they realize they have opened up a can of worms and it’s now or never to determine the truth of what really happened. <br/><br/>This book was a puzzle and kept revealing more clues as the story went on, and it was a nonstop train wreck at the end when all the pieces came together!"
"Pretty good. Lucas starts a podcast to bring new information to the sorority murder. Candice went missing and everyone thought it was a homeless man. Lucas is able to enlist the help of ryleigh, a former us marshall. RyLeigh thinks Lucas is invested in this case for another reason but can’t put her finger on it. Lucas is really invested because his high school girlfriends sister went missing and was never found. He knows Candice and her were in the sorority together and he thinks Candice died because of what she knew. Together they uncover that Rachel the sorority advisor was behind it. Adele the high school girlfriend sister had a bad trip on drugs and fell and died. They all covered it up. Candice wanted to go to the police but Rachel couldn’t let the sorority be ruined or let anyone know if happened at her house. So she killed candice."
