When celebrity biographer, Phoebe Hall, is first dumped by
her live in boyfriend of 4 years and then accused of
plagiarism, she's ready to escape the Manhattan lifestyle
that she had come to adore. For this reason, she jumped at
the chance to teach a journalism class at Lyle University in
Lyle, Pennsylvania. Her best friend, Glenda Johns, is the
head of the university and delivers a personal invitation.
It seems the perfect way for her to get her life back in
some sort of order and come up with the idea for her next
book.
At first, that's exactly what Phoebe's new situation turns
out to be. However, after only a couple of months in
residence at Lyle, a student disappears. Phoebe had briefly
met Lily Mack shortly before she vanished. They had shared
Phoebe's umbrella on a rainy walk to the campus. During that
walk, Lily had shared a secret with Phoebe that led her to
wonder later if it had anything to do with Lily's
disappearance.
In the midst of this investigation, Glenda has heard
rumblings of a secret society on campus and she asks Phoebe
to please discreetly look into it to see what she can find
out. Since Phoebe is particularly good at getting people to
talk to her due to her interviewing techniques she's used in
the past for research, she readily agrees. There's another
reason that Phoebe is interested in exposing this group, if
there is one, but it's a secret that very few people know
about her.
As Phoebe starts talking to people on the campus, she comes
to the conclusion that there is, indeed, a secret society
operating undercover on the Lyle campus. They're all girls
and they go by the name of The Sixes. Someone doesn't want
Phoebe to keep digging, though. There are several scary
incidents that target Phoebe and really leave no doubt, to
her anyway, that The Sixes are behind them.
In the middle of all of this, she starts seeing Duncan Shaw,
a professor in the Psychology department. Things seem to be
looking up in the direction of her romantic life when,
suddenly, they start crashing down around her once more.
People are dying around her and it all seems to be directed
at stopping her from investigating The Sixes. Could a group
of girls actually be responsible for these deaths? Is it
possible that they're really that evil? These are questions
that Phoebe needs answers to, and fast, because whoever is
responsible is closing in on her now. Will she discover the
truth before it's too late?
This was my first book by writer Kate White but it most
certainly won't be my last. She has crafted a wonderful plot
that will keep you riveted from the opening sentence until
the final one. THE SIXES has everything it needs to be
turned into a highly intriguing movie. Treat yourself to
this book when you have no other plans because you'll be
changing them in favor of finding out what's going on in THE
SIXES.

Bailey Weggins mystery series comes a thriller set in a

place to put her life back together, Phoebe jumps at the
offer to teach in a sleepy Pennsylvania town at a small
private college run by her former boarding school roommate
and close friend, Glenda Johns.
But behind the campus’s quiet cafÉs and leafy maple trees
lie evil happenings. The body of a female student washes up
on the banks of a nearby river, and disturbing revelations
begin to surface: accusations from coeds about abuses
wrought by a secret society of girls on campus known as The
Sixes.. To help Glenda, Phoebe embarks on a search for
clues—a quest that soon raises painful memories of her own
boarding school days years ago.
As the investigation heats up, Phoebe unexpectedly finds
herself falling for the school’s handsome psychology
professor, Duncan Shaw. But when nasty pranks turn into
deadly threats, Phoebe realizes she’s in the middle of a
real-life nightmare, not knowing whom she can trust and if
she will even survive.
Plunging deeper into danger with every step, Phoebe knows
she’s close to unmasking a killer. But with truth comes a
terrifying revelation: your darkest secrets can still be
uncovered . . . and starting over may be a crime punishable
by death.
