She Was the Quiet One

By Michele Campbell

Book Overview

From the author of It's Always the Husband comes a riveting new suspense novel about privilege, power, and what happens when we let ambition take control.

For Rose Enright, enrolling in a prestigious New England boarding school is the opportunity of a lifetime. But for Rose's vulnerable twin sister Bel, Odell Academy is a place of temptation and danger. When Bel falls in with a crowd of wild rich kids who pressure her into hazing Rose, the sisters' relationship is shattered. Rose turns to her dorm mother, Sarah Donovan, for advice. But Bel turns to Sarah's husband Heath, a charismatic and ambitious teacher. Is Heath trying to help Bel or take advantage of her? In a world of privilege, seduction, and manipulation, only one sister will live to tell the truth.

In a novel full of twists, turns, and dark secrets, Michele Campbell once again proves her skill at crafting intricately spun and completely compelling plots.

Praise for She Was the Quiet One:

"Campbell's skillful characterization and her shocking final twist make this follow-up to It's Always the Husband well worthwhile. Readers who enjoyed Simone St. James' boarding-school mystery, The Broken Girls, should give this a try." --Booklist

Customer Reviews

Perfect suspense novel!

Rose and Bel are twin sisters that couldn’t be more different from each other. When they get to their private school they realize, quickly, they don’t fit into the same crowd of friends. This book is told from both of their view points as they navigate the hardships of high school, boys, drama, a stalker, an affair and even murder. Michele Campbell does a fantastic job of keeping you in suspense until the very end. I thoroughly enjoyed every page of this novel! If you enjoy suspense/thrillers without the horror aspect -this is a MUST read!
