This page-turner with a strong voice will be hugely appealing to fans of campus novel mysteries.
A student at an elite Catholic prep school in a wealthy Pittsburgh suburb takes his life and leaves behind a post referencing the death of a hockey player at his same school years earlier. His classmate Frankie reads the note and takes it upon herself to investigate when no one else will, interviewing the hockey player's sister, former girlfriend, and best friend. The secrets she unravels threaten to reveal the dark reality of her supposedly perfect, elite private school.
With a wry, wise-beyond-her-years narrator in Frankie and a page-turning plot, Fine Young People is a cold-case mystery with a Hitchcockian twist and a portrait of a young woman searching for meaning in a world that values achievement above all else -- perfect for anyone who loves a campus novel with a decidedly contemporary voice.
