Phoebe Hall’s Manhattan life is unexpectedly derailed off the fast track when her long-term boyfriend leaves her just as she is accused of plagiarizing her latest bestselling celebrity biography. Looking for a quiet place to pick up the pieces, Phoebe jumps at the offer to teach at a small private college run by her former boarding school roommate and close friend Glenda in a sleepy Pennsylvania town.
But behind the campus’s quiet cafés and looming maple trees lies something darker. The body of a junior co-ed washes up from the nearby river, and soon rumors begin to swirl of of past crimes and abuses wrought by a disturbing secret society known as The Sixes.
Determined to find answers and help Glenda, Phoebe secretly embarks on a search for clues—a quest that soon raises dark memories of her own boarding school days. Plunging deeper into danger with every step, Phoebe knows she’s close to unmasking a killer. But with truth comes a deeply terrifying revelation: the past can’t be outrun . . . and starting over can be a crime punishable by death.

"This is the 3rd Kate White book I've read and I'll be finding more of her books! "Hush" was really good but this one was great. I love a book that has a plot I can't figure out. This one kept me in suspense until the last few pages. If you like a fast paced story, read this one. White does a great job of juggling several plot lines without confusing the reader."
— Linda (5 out of 5 stars)
“The Sixes is a terrifying, psychological thriller that takes ‘mean girls’ to a whole new level of creepy. It’s Kate White’s best!”
— Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author“You won’t be able to put it down; just remember to reapply your sunscreen every so often.”
— Harper’s Bazaar“This is the perfect book to take on a transatlantic flight to Europe. Trust me I just did it…A fast-paced plot that wraps itself up in time for you to race to the bathroom before the plane starts its descent.”
— Vanity Fair“Cosmo editor-in-chief White’s prose—ike a brisk walk through a tree-lined campus in autumn—is perfectly suited to the setting and tone of this stand-alone mystery thriller about mean girl games run amok…A worthy end-of-summer beach read.”
— Publishers Weekly" Did not like this book - hoped it would get better but never did. "
— Kathy, 2/19/2014" Overall this was a good plot and well paced, however it jusr did not grab me. There were definitely some surprising twists at the end. A fun read. "
— Carrie, 2/8/2014" Great and suspenseful, loved it! "
— Rhonda, 1/24/2014" This was my first book by this author. It's a real shame when kids continue to bully even in college! "
— Linda, 1/24/2014" Kind of a silly story (easy read) about a group of "mean girls" on a college campus. Their activities mask the "true" killer. O.K. for a lazy weekend read. "
— Judi, 1/20/2014" It's what you would expect from this type of book...poor writing, somewhat predictable plot, but still mildly entertaining. "
— Lindsay, 1/11/2014" Easy read. Kept you guessing. Love the subject matter. "
— Selena, 12/16/2013" A nice autumn read, but not much else to jump out and grab me on this one. the book seemed very predictable, but i was wrong - and i love being wrong about who did it. a good read but not too rememberable. "
— Heaether, 12/12/2013" There was a lot of suspense in this book and the story moved along quickly. However, I thought there were too many story threads being introduced and it took a long time to tie some of them up. "
— Susan, 12/7/2013" Great book, had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. "
— Jen, 11/4/2013" I cannot wait for this to come out on Tuesday! I've pre-ordered it so I should get it by the end of the week! LOVE Kate White's books!! So good!! "
