In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
Summary
A college reunion turns dark and deadly in this chilling and propulsive suspense novel about six friends, one unsolved murder, and the dark secrets they’ve been hiding from each other—and themselves—for a decade.
Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to 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’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she’d been closest to since freshman year. Ten years ago, everything fell apart, including the dreams she worked for her whole life—and her relationship with the one person she wasn’t supposed to love.
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.
Review
Heather was murdered 10 years ago. Her boyfriend was accused but never charged. The group of friends is back for their college homecoming and Heather’s brother is going to get to the bottom of her unsolved murder!
The book goes between the college years and the present day. Each person in the friend group has a secret and we try to find the murderer in the group. The story really focuses on Jessica but as we get more clues each friend has their own chapter from the past.
Each character is a good suspect in this one and I kept guessing the entire book! As we get more clues, I started predicting what happened but I still didn’t fully know what. Everyone has some family drama and it plays a role for every character. I think each character could be relatable in real life which made the book a lot more engaging for me.
