'Brilliant. Guaranteed to join The Secret History and The Virgin Suicides as one of those rare books to become a cult hit and instant classic' Sunday Telegraph

She found her teacher dead - hanging by a piece of electrical cord.

The North Carolina police think it was suicide. Her former friends - the Bluebloods - blame her for being there. And her father tells her to leave it alone. But Blue van Meer is a student of books and can't let a mystery go. Because all her life puzzles, both complicated and intricate, have littered her path - her mother's death in a car crash ; a childhood spent roaming from town to town ; her dad's serial affairs.

Are these the fantasies of a teenager too lonely or too clever for her own good ? Or has Blue stumbled on something so dark, so devious that her whole world is about to be flipped upside-down ?
