This is why we lie
(Young Adult Book)

When a fellow student is murdered, Jenna Dallas and Adam Cole, who discovered the body, launch their own investigation and discover that everyone in the community of Gardiners Bay has something to hide.

When Jenna Dallas and Adam Cole find Colleen O'Dell's body floating off the shore of their coastal town, the community of Gardiners Bay is shaken. But even more shocking is the fact that her drowning was no accident. When Jenna's best friend becomes a key suspect, she starts to look for answers-- and uncovers scandals inside Preston Prep School that lead back to Rookwood reform school. As a student at Rookwood, Adam is used to getting judgmental looks, but now his friends are being investigated by the police. He will do whatever he can to keep them safe, even if that means trusting Jenna. As lies unravel, they learn everyone in Gardiner's Bay has a secret-- and somebody must take the fall. -- adapted from jacket
