The Plot (from Goodreads):
Six friends.
One college reunion.
One unsolved murder.
A college reunion turns dark and deadly in this chilling and propulsive suspense novel about six friends, one unsolved murder, and the dark secrets they’ve been hiding from each other—and themselves—for a decade.
Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see—confident, beautiful, indifferent—not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she’d been closest to since freshman year. Ten years ago, everything fell apart, including the dreams she worked for her whole life—and her relationship with the one person she wasn’t supposed to love.
But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette ten years ago, and not everyone can let Heather’s murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night—and the years’ worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.
How did In My Dreams I Hold A Knife end?
The Reveal:
Mint found out that Jess slept with the professor who raped her, and it triggered him because of how his father was cheated on. He thought she willingly was sleeping with him. He wanted to kill Jess for cheating on him, but Heather had been put to bed in Jess’s bed. Mint killed her thinking she was Jessica.
After confessing, he set the room on fire to try to kill everyone. It didn’t work, and Erik pushed Mint out the tower window in front of the homecoming parade.
The Ending:
The reader finds out that Jess arrived in her room to find Heather dead in her bed while she was still alive. She asked Jess for help, and Jess didn’t alert anyone because she was jealous of her.
