A murder tied to a decade of secrets

The story moves between Hannah Miller’s senior year at an elite New York academy in 2016 and an alumni charity gala ten years later, where former classmates reunite and host Madison DuPont is found dead. Hannah, once a scholarship student on the edge of the school’s social hierarchy, becomes a suspect after being seen speaking with Madison. The two timelines connect the present-day investigation to a past shaped by cliques, bullying, and the Upper Edge, a gossip account that watches the school’s privileged circle. Suspicion reaches across Madison’s old friendships and rivalries, giving the mystery a closed social world and a long history of buried secrets.

Book overview

Scandal never graduates in this glossy thriller set in the world of New York's ultra-elite, perfect for fans of Gossip Girl and Holly Jackson.

Gossip on the Upper East Side isn't just vicious...it's deadly. --XOXO

2016: Hannah Miller has begun her senior year at the Prescott Academy of New York alongside the rich and famous of the Upper East Side. Or, at least, their children.

Amid the trust funds and penthouse parties, there's one rule for survival: staying out of the way of Queen Bees Madison DuPont and Elle Harrington.

Being a scholarship student makes Hannah feel invisible. But no one escapes the watchful eye of notorious gossip account called the Upper Edge.

2026: The academy's alumni have gathered for a glittering charity gala. Only Madison DuPont could host an event this grand.

But what starts as a champagne-fueled party soon descends into chaos when Madison is found dead moments after her speech. It doesn't take long for fingers to point at Hannah--everyone saw her talking to Madison only moments before the murder. She shouldn't even be at the gala. She's not really one of them.

The truth is that everyone had a reason to want Madison dead. From Madison's best friend to her former devotees to the targets of her bullying, it seems like the whole student body had a complicated history with the Queen Bee of Park Avenue. To clear her name, Hannah must unearth the secrets that this crowd would kill to keep buried.
