The Sixes by Kate White


I enjoyed this book a lot. It is a mystery that takes place in a small private college run by Glenda. Years ago her best friend, Phoebe, was harassed and targeted at school by a group of girls. She left the school with painful memories but she did gain a best friend in Glenda. All grown up, both women have found success. Phoebe has been writing celebrity biographies that have become bestsellers. But the life that Phoebe has been living in Manhattan changes suddenly. Her long-time boyfriend decides it isn't working and leaves her. She could have survived except next she is accused of plagiarizing. She is innocent, but you know how that goes! Glenda offers her an escape to regroup and stay out of the limelight. Shortly after Phoebe begins teaching, the body of a female student is found. Phoebe offers to help Glenda find out some information about a "secret society" called The Sixes because they might have had a hand in the murder. Given her own past history, it is difficult for Phoebe -but she will do anything to help her friend. It was fast-paced and interesting. If you like mysteries, check it out!
