* "Razor-sharp."--Booklist, starred review

An old money/new murder mystery set on the island of Martha's Vineyard, with rich kids doing bad things from New York Times bestselling author Katie Cotugno

Perfect for fans of Jessica Goodman, Agatha Christie, Glass Onion, and Martha's Vineyard Mysteries

Linden knows he doesn't belong in elite Martha's Vineyard. But when his prep school roommate, Jasper, invites him to spend the end of the summer at August House, his family's massive beachfront estate, Linden tries to fit in. It's not hard--after all, he's been lying for years. And he's not the only one....

Everyone at August House is ready for a wicked good time So when someone is found unconscious in the pool after a night of partying, it's quickly labeled an accident. But Linden begins to wonder. . .

As does Holiday, Linden's childhood friend and the only person on the island who knows the truth about his humble background. There's nothing Holiday loves more than a mystery, and she's convinced there's a killer on the Vineyard. And now it's up to them to figure out who.
