The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard
Hot Key Books, 2014. ISBN: 9781471404344
(Age: Older teens) High school senior Nolan Hotchkiss is one of
those lucky kids - handsome, rich and a self-centered bully who
walks all over the other students. No one can touch him and no one
wants to try . . . Until now. Five girls - Ava, Caitlin, Mackenzie,
Julie and Parker - they all have a good reason to want to end
Nolan's reign of terror. They scheme and create the perfect murder -
hypothetically, of course. It was only supposed to stop him, until
Nolan ends up dead the same way that the girls had planned. Except
that they didn't commit murder. They have to find the real killer;
otherwise their perfect lives will come crashing down around them.
The first novel in the series. The Perfectionists is much
like her sister series, The Pretty Little Liars. This novel
is great for those who love a crime that seems unsolvable. It is an
addictive read, one that cannot be put down. A page-turner full of
suspense, mystery and murder. A great read for the older teens.
