This addictive thriller from New York Times bestselling author Alafair Burke draws its details from the author's own experiences as a criminal law professor and deputy district attorney, creating an exhilarating, true-to-life tale of crime and its consequences. Sixteen-year-old Julia Whitmire appeared to have everything: a famous father, a luxurious Manhattan townhouse, a coveted spot at the elite Casden prep school. When she is found dead in her bathtub, a handwritten suicide note left on her bed, her parents insists that their daughter would never take her own life. Detective Ellie Hatcher is ready to write it off as a suicide, but one piece of evidence nags at her.When Ellie's search of Julia's bedroom and belongings for a matching notebook turns up empty, she's sure there's more to the case than meets the eye. The ensuing investigation brings the partners inside Julia's inner circle--an eclectic mix of precocious teenagers at Mahattan's most elite prep schools and street kids Julia met at Washington Square Park; and Ellie is forced to uncover the truth behind this apparent suicide, navigating Julia's intriguing connections to both New York's wealthiest--and its most dispossessed.

Never Tell
This is one author I look for when buying mysteries. She follows in her fathers footsteps when it comes to drawing you in and wondering what will happen next. I only wish she would write faster! Highly recommend.
