Six friends.

One college reunion.

One unsolved murder. 

Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has been invited back to her university for a reunion, and she is obsessed with dazzling everyone with her beauty and success. This time when they see her, it has to be perfect because she is perfect—not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends Jessica had been closest to since freshman year. 

But there’s more at stake here than the delicious envy of Jessica’s peers. Not everyone is ready to move on; not everyone can let Heather’s murder go unsolved. In fact, someone has orchestrated the whole weekend to trap the real killer. As the weekend unfolds and they get closer to the truth, the group discovers there was more than murder hidden amongst them on campus. 

Told in racing dual timelines, with a dark college setting and a darker look at friendship, love, obsession and ambition, In My Dreams I Hold a Knife is an addictive, propulsive millennial thriller you won’t be able to put down.
