The Night It Ended

Summary: Finding the truth seems impossible when her own dark past has her seeing lies everywhere she looks…

From the outside, criminal psychiatrist Dr. Madeline Pine’s life appears picture-perfect—she has a beautiful family, a successful mental health practice, and a growing reputation as an expert in female violence. But when she’s called to help investigate a mysterious death at a boarding school for troubled teenage girls, Madeline hesitates. She’s been through tragic cases before, and the one she was entangled in last year nearly destroyed her…

Yet she can’t turn away when she hears about Charley Ridley. After Charley was found barefoot and in pajamas at the bottom of an icy ravine on campus, the police ruled her death a tragic accident. But the private investigator hired by her mother has his doubts. If it were Madeline’s daughter who died, she’d want to know why.

Arriving at the secluded campus in upstate New York, Madeline’s met by an unhelpful skeleton staff and the four other students staying on campus during winter break. Each seems to hold a piece of the puzzle. And everyone has secrets—Madeline included. But who would kill to protect them?

This stunning suspense debut is told with a narrative that intertwines with the transcript of an anonymous interview, beginning a twisting path where nothing—and no one—is what it seems. It’s sure to appeal to readers of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley—fans of locked room mysteries and jaw-dropping twists.

 

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

An author I enjoy recommended this book and it sounded SO good. There was so much about it that I was intrigued- the setting, the mysterious death, etc. But this book was a slow burn with a character who was way tooooooooo much in her head.

It slowly meandered as she worried she was losing her mind and I even quit listening for awhile because I just wasn’t sure how to feel about this book.

Ultimately this book did have a great twist, but by the time it twisted- I really was meh about the book.

Bottom line: For me, this book did not work well.  And I really hated that i didn’t love it.
