The Suicide House | Charlie Donlea
23 posts | 19 read | 18 to read
A chilling murder in a prestigious prep school is at the heart of this riveting new novel from acclaimed author Charlie Donlea, featuring forensic reconstructionist Rory Moore and her psychologist partner, Lane Phillips. Inside the walls of Indianas elite Westmont Preparatory High School, expectations run high and rules are strictly enforced. But in the woods beyond the manicured campus and playing fields sits an abandoned boarding house that is infamous among Westmonts students as a late-night hangout. Here, only one rule applies: dont let your candle go outunless you want the Man in the Mirror to find you. . . . One year ago, two students were killed there in a grisly slaughter. The case has since become the focus of a hit podcast, The Suicide House. Though a teacher was convicted of the murders, mysteries and questions remain. The most urgent among them is why so many students who survived that horrific night have returned to the boarding houseto kill themselves. Rory, an expert in reconstructing cold cases, is working on The Suicide House podcast with Lane, recreating the night of the killings in order to find answers that have eluded the school, the town, and the police. But the more they learn about the troubled students, the chillingly stoic culprit, and a dangerous game gone tragically wrong, the more convinced they become that something sinister is still happening. Inside Westmont Prep, the game hasnt ended. It thrives on secrecy and silence. And for its players, there may be no way to winor to survive. . . .

Finished this one on Friday. It was really good. Lots of twists and turns. Such a great book for an #AudioCommute as it kept me engaged and I didn't have to think about how cold and ugly it was outside! Ha! Anyway, I will have to check out more from this author :) #LibbyLoan

Found the picture randomly on the internet. I love these “cute ghosts“. They are adorable!

ElizaMarie @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This month, my schedule will be Tues-Thurs (for orientation), but then I think my schedule would be similar to what you had mentioned yours is: on 2, off 1, on 4, off 7, then repeat (edited) 8mo

So good! I'm a big fan of the Rory/Lane dynamic and hoping that this sequel turns into a longer series for the duo! 👏🏽

Book 2 of this fascinating series. Lane is asked to help with a podcast featuring the Westwood Prep murders. Seems the students involved are killing themselves. Rory is tempted by Lane to assist the case as there might be a cold case involved. So many twists make this an exciting and excellent book!

TheSpineView Way to go! 4y

I liked this one a lot. This is a straight up murder mystery. And it has a lot of parts without being overly complicated. The main detectives are fun and quirky. I think there are other books but this stands alone pretty well.

#TheSuicideHouse #CharlieDonlea

Rory Moore in forensics & her psychologist partner, Lane Phillips are investigating the Westmont Prep School murders & the suicides that followed. Rory has a 6th sense for solving open police cases. But, are these suicides really murders? I look forward to reading Charlie Donlea's other books. He led me to believe that I knew who the murderer was. With brilliant twists at the end, I was truly fooled. Recommended.

Ryder, Rory, Gus, Lane, and Mack try to figure out why the survivors of a slaughter are committing suicide. Alternating between past and present, and inside the heads of a reporter, a podcaster, a detective, a criminal profiler, and the students themselves, we learn that there are a lot of secrets involved in this twisty tale. A lot of secrets. The characters and format worked well together to peel back what really happened at an elite school.

The Suicide House pulls you immediately into the book where there are many moving pieces. Several characters are introduced setting the stage of mystery and suspense. In the introduction to the story, someone confesses to pushing his brother in front of a train which kills him. It makes you wonder about all the apparent suicides which were reported after the tragic “accident” at the private boarding school.

Wow! This is the first book I have read by Charlie Donlea so did not know what to expect. I am happy to report that the book, a psychological thriller, was amazing! What a wild ride! I was immediately drawn into this story. The pieces of the puzzle would fall into place but always one critical piece withheld. The ending was spectacular.

There was never a boring moment in this book; something always happening.

Mehso-so

I thought this book was going to be unputdownable from the first page, how wrong I was. It felt like a YA suspense novel more to me than an adult suspense novel.

Set at Westmont Prep School, a few select Junior's get a chance to enter a private club. As an initiation to this club the Juniors must face the man in the mirror.

Thanks to Goodreads for the book.

🎒 I have a thick braided brown belt and a black bow belt that I really love. They both really enhance outfits!

🌵 No, I haven‘t!

📚 The Suicide House and The Girl With All the Gifts. I will probably read a novella I got today - Blanky - as I‘ve been dying to read it!
