Reviewed by Bob Walch


They call themselves “The Sixes” and this group of college coeds help one another get whatever each one desires, no matter the cost. Wielding their power from the shadows, these females take the expression “mean girl” to a new level. And if any one of them opts out of the group, she does so at her own risk!

Phoebe Hall’s life has started to come unraveled, so she has agreed to a short teaching stint at the small private college in Pennsylvania run by a former school friend. Hoping to get herself “together,” poor Phoebe finds herself drawn into the investigation of a student’s mysterious death. Since she had recently met the dead girl and, as a researcher, enjoys what she calls “Sherlocking”, Phoebe starts digging for clues as to what happened.

Suddenly the subject of nasty pranks, the amateur sleuth next finds that she is receiving death threats. Perhaps she’s in over her head but, for better or for worse, this indomitable woman is bent on finding out whodunit. The question is: is she willing to pay the ultimate price to find out?

If you enjoy mysteries with an academic twist and a mostly all girl cast of characters, you’ll find The Sixes-” much to your liking. Kate White doesn’t hold anything back in this thriller that will have you checking the doors at night to make sure they are locked before you begin reading!
