The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes

I did it again.  Left my Chromebook on my desk at school on charge.  Oops.

This is the first of 2 reviews I'll do today as time allows (I did not read a book Saturday as it was my belated birthday/early Valentine's Day dinner and Six the Musical).

My son has taken to skiing in the Berkshires, at Catamount and Mohawk.  This came across my suggestions on Amazon.  I know SkyNet has become self-aware, but kinda creepy.

I'm glad I purchased it though!

Maya is living in Boston, but she grew up in the Berkshires.  Just before leaving for college, her best friend Aubrey dropped dead in front of Maya and the young man they were recently quarreling over, Frank.  Frank is a librarian and says he's returned to the area to care for his ailing father after living on the West Coast.

Years later, Maya sees a viral video called "girl drops dead", in which a young woman dies suddenly in a diner.  Across from her in the booth is Frank.  Maya is sure Frank killed the young woman, same as he did Aubrey.  However, no one believes Maya now, just as no one believed her then.  

I don't want to spoil too much, but this is a definite thriller that keeps you guessing.
