Ashley Winstead, IN MY DREAMS I HOLD A KNIFE



Read on my back patio, Park City. 

Told from multiple perspectives, with a dual timeline (college, and the 10-year college reunion), this novel rises above the average "whodunit" mystery for me. Yes, there is a murder, and the narrative winds toward finding the truth about who committed it, but what I appreciated about this book was the scrupulous and searingly honest attention paid to the dark side of intense friend groups that form in college -- the hierarchies, shifting loyalties, and secrets that haunt these seven friends.
