Will I love In My Dreams I Hold a Knife?

At heart, I might still be five years old because I love a good puzzle. This book features dual timelines that–piece by piece–build for you a portrait you don’t see coming.

Do you remember how satisfying it feels to snap a puzzle piece into its proper place? That’s how I felt discovering the web these friends were weaving–bit by bit, page by page–and when I got to the “big picture,” the ending, I was stunned, entertained, and ultimately gratified.

This beautifully-written slow-burn mystery centers around a close-knit group of friends returning to campus for their ten-year reunion—one of the friends had been brutally murdered when they were students, but the true killer remains unknown.

I love the way the plot weaves in and out between past and present, revealing an expanding trail of secrets and lies. Winstead, another former academic, keeps the twists coming, culminating in an ending that is certain to astonish.
