I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.After reading the blurb for Prom Queen, I knew I needed to read it. Also, having experiencing the author's previous work The In Laws, I expected a twisted tale. She did not disappoint. Prom Queen delivered a nail-biting, twisted and page turning tale that will delight thriller/mystery fans. This thrilling and page turning read is told in dual timelines, the past and the present. The past timeline gives readers insight into the tragedy which occurred twenty years ago. While the present stirs up painful memories and with it comes danger. Brooke, the leading lady, returns to the town which held painful memories, to handle her mother's estate. While there, she encountered a true crime podcaster. Now she normally wouldn't give a stranger a second thought, but the sight of a familiar necklace around the stranger's neck gave her pause. The same necklace which mysteriously disappeared the night her best friend, Bailey, fell off a bridge into the path of a moving train. Then she learns the podcaster was in town seeking information about the twenty-year-old tragedy. Coincidence, I think not. Told primarily from Brooke's POV, Prom Queen takes the reader on a thrilling journey. The deeper one goes into the story, the more questions arise. One thing is for certain, Bailey did not commit suicide 20 years ago and someone is determined to keep the truth hidden. The past timeline highlights the angst and the drama that comes with being a teenager in high school. Jealousy, broken friendships, and bullying. The present focused on learning the truth behind the tragedy. This is one of those stories where everyone is a suspect, even the person narrating the story. I honestly had no clue who was behind Bailey's demise. The revelation shocked me, but what was even more shocking was the end. I am still trying to pick up my jaw from the floor. I am keeping my fingers cross, hoping for a follow-up story. Overall, Prom Queen delivered a solid read and I recommend it to fans of suspenseful stories.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
