Blake took me on another unforgettable ride. This time Riley Paige is investigating the deaths of several students at a prestigious college. All were labeled as suicides but something just doesn't seem right and as Riley's daughter points out the statistics are not in favor of suicide so something is amiss. Riley starts her unauthorized investigation into the deaths and it quickly becomes a sanctioned case. As the "suicides" start to increase Riley hopes that they can catch the killer in time to prevent another one, however at what cost to Riley?

This is great because like the last one the killer is so ordinary. I really love this series but again I'm still not sure why they chose a British woman to read the audio book. Don't get me wrong Elaine Wise is spectacular I just have a hard time remembering this is set in the US. Maybe if Riley has been a transplant from England I could understand but nope but really this is the biggest flaw. I'm glad they have moved on from Riley being fired every book as well although the powers that be are still not in Rileys corner.

4...This case was very creepy to me...like chills, hurry up and get this guy...Great case, and happy to see Lucy get more face time...Still loving Hatcher, though I wondering if I am along for the ride for his storyline...Does Riley turn him in or turn into him? I mean the ending...Has me wondering where her justice line really is! And can I add I am not Team Ryan, asshat!
