In this breathtaking debut that reads like Gossip Girl crossed with Twin Peaks, a Queen Bee at a blue-blooded New England prep school stumbles into a murder mystery.Anne Dowling practically runs her exclusive academy on New York’s Upper East Side—that is, until she accidentally burns part of it down and gets sent to a prestigious boarding school outside of Boston. Determined to make it back to New York, Anne couldn't care less about making friends at the preppy Wheatley School. That is, until her roommate Isabella’s body is found in the woods behind the school. When everyone else is oddly silent, Anne becomes determined to uncover the truth no matter how many rules she has to break to do it. With the help of Isabella’s twin brother Anthony, and a cute classmate named Brent, Anne discovers that Isabella wasn’t quite the innocent nerdy girl she pretended to be. But someone will do anything to stop Anne’s snooping in this fast-paced, unputdownable read—even if it means framing her for Isabella’s murder.

Anne Dowling investigates a mysterious disappearance, faces expulsion, and is given a romantic ultimatum in this fast-paced, twisty conclusion to Taylor's Prep School Confidential series.

Anne Dowling is still fascinated by the death of Wheatley student Matthew Weaver thirty years before that of her roommate, Isabella, but further investigation could endanger her relationship with Brent as the Spring Formal and its notorious afterparty approach.
