Why a Booktrail?
2000s: Six friends. One college reunion. One unsolved murder.
In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
What you need to know before your trail
Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to her southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see—confident, beautiful, indifferent. Not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she’d been closest to since freshman year.
But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette ten years ago, and not everyone can let Heather’s murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night—and the years’ worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.
Travel Guide
American university life
Would you go back to your university homecoming? One girl does and she lives to regret it.
Duquette University is fictional and in North Carolina.
“Duquette was more than grand. Blackwell Tower, home to the Chancellor’s office was modelled after the Notre Dame cathedral in Pars, single spire piercing the sky, buttresses creeping out the sides like spindly spider legs. In the blazing glory of late August, rows of red crepe myrtles formed a sea of crimson everywhere, the ocean of colour interrupted only by gnarled magnolia trees. twitching arms reaching out with scattered white blooms, clinging late into their season. Crimson and white. Blood and spirit, like the Duquette motto: Mutantur nos et vos, corpus et animan meam. We will change you body and soul.”
