This is our Story

by Ashley Elston

Five rich, handsome, private school senior boys go out hunting. One of them fires a shot into Grant, killing him instantly. The gun that killed Grant was his own shotgun, which they had all handled earlier in the day. It's covered in all of their fingerprints. The boys all say it's an accident, but as facts unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that's not the case. They get expelled from their fancy pants school, and have to slum it in public school while the investigation is in progress.

Kate works for the DA's office part time, and attends the public high school. She's tasked with helping the DA process some of the case information. He trusts her with sensitive info about the case, but she has a little secret. She'd been texting Grant for the past few weeks, and was totally falling for him. She tries really hard to make sure her emotions don't jeopardize the case, but you know how that goes...

OHHHH, the twist in the middle of this one! What a great little mystery! Kate is spunky and relatable. The boys are so easy to picture. Don't we all know a few dudes like the River Point Boys? The plot is tightly structured--very little fluff keeps the pace moving quickly. The resolution isn't earth-shattering, but it's satisfying. I really liked this one!
