Review: The Headmaster's List

The Headmaster's List The Headmaster's List by Melissa de la Cruz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Spencer has survived a terrible accident that ended with the death of a fellow student.  She has only spotty memories of the events before the accident and none of the accident itself.  Her ex, Ethan, has been charged with the death of Chris, a passenger in the car.  Spencer doesn’t believe Ethan is at fault.  She doesn’t know why, so she starts to investigate what happened that night.  Is it weird that everyone involved is on the Headmaster’s List?  What truths will Spencer uncover?  Will she ever get her memories back?

The Headmaster’s List is a stand-alone mystery that has standard narrative sections with podcast transcripts throughout.  De la Cruz has taken a gander at a different genre and it is a success.  I did have an inkling of the twist at the end, but I did not expect the second and third twists.  This is not a very long read, so many readers will find themselves finished before they realize it.  A fun mystery for fans of the genre.
