Why did Valerie love this book?
I love a good mystery, so I often turn to this author for an enjoyable read. Her Agatha Christie-type mysteries never disappoint and The It Girl is no exception.
This story is set at university in Oxford, England, where Hannah Jones first meets roommate April Clarke-Cliveden, the ultimate “it” girl with a vivacious, outgoing personality. The two girls easily make friends, and their group includes Hugh, Ryan, Will, and Emily. But, by the end of the first term, April is found dead. Who among them would murder her?
Was it really the somewhat creepy porter, John Neville, who was found guilty and sent to prison? Ten years later we meet the characters again after Neville dies in prison and a whole new investigation begins. This is a great read.

She needs to know the truth.
Even if it means questioning her own friends.
Even if it means putting her own life at risk.
Because if the killer wasn't…
