63. Don't Scream by Wendy Corsi Staub

Ten years ago, Rachel Lorant died in the woods of Cedar Crest on her birthday. Four of her friends, fellow sorority sisters of the Zeta Delta Kappa sorority, witness her fall and vow never to speak of her accidental death again. On the tenth anniversary of Rachel’s death, all four sorority sisters, Brynn, Fiona, Tildy, and Cassie, receive a birthday card – from Rachel. When the women start dying on their birthdays, the remaining survivors must decide if they should speak about the past and what happened that fateful night of Rachel’s death.

Full of many twist and turns, and plenty of red herrings, this is an enjoyable thriller perfect for this time of year. While the character Brynn is highlighted for much of the novel, and how she deals with the crime spree while having two small children, the other women are fully developed secondary characters that are very realistic. The pacing is very effective in moving readers along, and there is plenty of suspense and thrills to hook readers in. Perfect for readers who enjoy the suspense books of Carol Goodman.
