"A dark and addictive mystery that had me flying through the pages: best read late at night under the covers with the doors locked!"Kara Thomas, author ofThe Darkest Corners One dead body, one photograph, one comprimising secret. Everyone's a suspect in this classic "whodunit" murder mystery from Timeless author, Alexandra Monir. Nicole Morgan has been labeled many thingsthe geeky music girl, the shy sidekick of Miss Popularity, and the girl with the scar. Now only one name haunts her through the halls of Oyster Bay Prep. The girl in the picture. After heartthrob Chace Porter is found dead in the woods near the school, the police search for the girl snuggled up next to him in a picture discovered among his personal effects. A girl no one knew was even close to himand whose best friend, Lana Rivera, was his girlfriend. Nicole is that girl, and now shes the primary suspect in his murder. What happened that night? Were Nicole and Chace dating behind Lanas back? Were he and Lana over? Could either of the girls have killed him? In alternating points of viewthat of suspect Nicole Morgan and that of Lana Riveraand weaving between present-day, flashbacks, and the characters' surreal subconscious, The Girl in the Picture is a unique tale of teen friendship, romance, and deadly secrets. "This is a murder mystery with tightly tucked-in clues. Perfect for readers who enjoy fancy prep-school tales or mysteries."--Booklist "Monir effectively keeps readers guessing until nearly the end. VERDICT Teens will enjoy the cleverly crafted ride of this whodunit."--SLJ From the Hardcover edition.

Mehso-so

I mean, it was a pretty normal murder mystery. I guessed the murderer first chapter even though it revealed it last. I liked the background but there wasn't many plot twist or anything interesting to add to the story.

This book hooked me from the first page and I read it in the matter of hours. When Chace turns up dead it leaves his whole school mourning. Who killed him? Was it is girlfriend, his close friends, or someone else? It kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn't see the ending coming at all. I was surprised to found out who the killer really was! This was the third book in the #24b4monday readathon. Very curious to see how many hours I will read!

JoScho Sounds good! 6y

⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was an insanely easy book to read, and I liked the story, the pace, the development and characters. I really did like Lana more than anyone. There was so much more going on than the superficial facade she showed everyone.
I just felt the climax of it didn't feel right and the end felt quite rushed. But I still really enjoyed this read.

Meh. I don't know if it's me or the book, but I just found this YA psychological thriller unbelievable. Star-crossed true love, ghost of murder victim, coincidence-driven plot, flat characters... maybe I am just too old for this one and the target audience would love it. #LitsyAtoZ #LetterG

BookishMarginalia @Mimi28 I have yet to finish a challenge, so this will be a new experience for me too. Just follow along and join in if you feel like it, or not, but don't feel bad! 7y
Gissy @Mimi28, try it. If you only complete the until G then that will be your goal accomplished! Then next year you can do it until letter L. Well that's the way I see it, always in a positive way! 👍 7y
BookishMarginalia @mimi28 I agree with @Gissy (edited) 7y
Mimi28 @BookishMarginalia and @Gissy ok I'll sign up, but can I start my list tomorrow? Will it be too late to sign up? 7y
BookishMarginalia @Mimi28 There's no deadline, so don't worry. You can fill out the books as you go too, without pre-planning (that's what I'm doing). You can access and edit your info at any time through the link in the confirmation email you'll get after signing up. 7y
Mimi28 @BookishMarginalia ok I just submitted a list. I couldn't find anything for u,x, y Thanks!! ❤ 7y
