A dark and addictive mystery that had me flying through the pages: best read late at night under the covers with the doors locked --Kara Thomas, author ofThe Darkest Corners

One dead body, one photograph, one comprimising secret. Everyone's a suspect in this classic whodunit murder mystery from Timeless author, Alexandra Monir.

Nicole Morgan has been labeled many things--the geeky music girl, the shy sidekick of Miss Popularity, and the girl with the scar. Now only one name haunts her through the halls of Oyster Bay Prep. The girl in the picture.

After heartthrob Chace Porter is found dead in the woods near the school, the police search for the girl snuggled up next to him in a picture discovered among his personal effects. A girl no one knew was even close to him--and whose best friend, Lana Rivera, was his girlfriend.

Nicole is that girl, and now she's the primary suspect in his murder.

What happened that night? Were Nicole and Chace dating behind Lana's back? Were he and Lana over? Could either of the girls have killed him?


In alternating points of view--that of suspect Nicole Morgan and that of Lana Rivera--and weaving between present-day, flashbacks, and the characters' surreal subconscious, The Girl in the Picture is a unique tale of Read More chevron_right

   Classic “whodoneit” for ya audience
This murder mystery has it all...a love triangle, political clique vs nerd clique, wealthy entitlement vs. scholarship recipient, cover-ups, and popular power players all in an elitist boarding school. The characters develop throughout the story and the plot twists and turns that keeps the reader guessing until the final scene. Best of all, there are no overly-gruesome descriptions of violence nor graphic romance scenes to make it inappropriate for tween readers.

   Who Dun-it?
I read it with an 8th-grade student to work on reading comprehension and vocabulary. She and I enjoyed the book greatly, as it was well written and very engaging. It is a great read for 8thgrade students and will certainly excite their interest with a murder taking place in the first chapter. Honestly, we kept guessing until the end. I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did!

   Mystery plus romance, loved it
The way the author switches back and forth between view and time makes the mystery and romance of this story wonderfully compelling. In a chapter, we get the point of view of the new lover from the past, and in the next chapter we get the point of view of the jilted love interest in the present. And we move back and forth as we unravel the mystery of the murder and the beginnings of the romance. And then the reader gets to a climatic point in the story, the author changes the point of view to the other character, and the mystery and romance continue to delight the reader even more. I loved this story ''.

   A story you can't stop thinking about even after putting it down!
I rescued this book in three days because I was sick and that was in mid September. It is now early November and I am still thinking about it! You get really punched in the face by the ending, but it ties together all loose ends and leaves you satisfied.

   I love the story
As with all of Alexandra Monir's stories, I could not put this book about a young girl, a talented violinist who is accused of murdering the man she loves. The author masterfully crafts the narrative with alternating points of view, allowing us to truly know the two main characters and what makes them do the things they do. Although we are certain of Nicole's innocence, we are left guessing with the slow unfolding of small clues up to the surprising and very unexpected ending. I love the story, characters and references to music!
