They did some bad things.
More than a year after childhood friends Michael Linden and Holiday Poirot solved a headline-making murder on Martha’s Vineyard, Linden is ready to start over as a freshman at Harvard—and, he hopes, to reunite with his old girlfriend, Greer. But just as things start to heat up between them, a friend is found dead in Greer’s dorm, Hemlock House.
The police believe the death is the result of an overdose, but Linden suspects there’s more to the story. The victim was wearing Greer’s clothes and sleeping in Greer’s bed when she died . . . and Greer has a long list of enemies. Was this a case of mistaken identity? Was someone trying to kill Greer? Is she in danger? Is he?
Nearly everyone on campus has something to hide—and some mysteries are better left buried.
I was iffy on the first book involving these characters, so I probably should have skipped Hemlock House. This one takes place a year after the events of Liar's Beach. Linden is at Harvard on a sports scholarship. He runs into his ex-girlfriend, Greer, and gets pulled into another murder mystery when her roommate dies.
As with the first book. every character in this book annoyed me. Linden's obsession with his ex was tiring. She was extremely unlikable and he really needed to move on. Holiday was probably the least annoying one here. The solution just kind of happened. They didn't really do any sleuthing that gets them any where . Holiday just kinds of solves it and presents it to Linden. It was very anticlimactic. I was just really bored throughout the entire book. I'm pretty much done with this series should there be a third book. I think I'll skip it
