Here are some details about this mystery story:
 
-Heather Wells - a former teen pop singer loses her record deal and falls from the spotlight – so she takes a job as a resident assistant in a college dorm or “residence hall” in NYC

-Heather caught Jordan Cartwright cheating: he is a famous pop star & her now ex boyfriend/fiancée/child hood sweetheart

-Heather moves in to the top floor of the house of the scapegoat of the Cartwright family– his name is Cooper – he is a private investigator

-Then a freshman falls to her death in the elevator shaft of the college residence hall: But no one suspects crime – just elevator surfing and it is ruled an accident

-Heather suspects something early on but especially when a second freshman falls to her death in the elevator shaft: same cause of death: elevator surfing

-A potential suspect: the extremely handsome son of the president of the college – could he be charming the women, sleeping with them and then covering his tracks?

-There is a romantic date at a college ball, and a fight to the death on the rooftop of the dormitory

-Good luck solving this mystery: it will keep you on your toes.

My Recommendation: Read this book! Recommended for older teens, young adults, and anyone who loves to see a mystery unfold in unusual ways.  Great for a public, school or personal library.
