Oliver Marks has just served ten years in jail - for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago. As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extra. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.

I was so drawn in by the prologue but so far I’m having a hard time getting through the rest. I hope it picks up soon.
This book is still one of the best dark academia I have read! I’m so glad everyone is reading this for the re-along 🫶🏾🫶🏾🥹 I hope you guys are enjoying it 🔥
