Rumors by A.C.Arthur

Rumor has it…he will kill again.

Her death tore them apart. Will solving her murder bring them back together?

Best friends Landy, Tenile, Nicole, Nathan, Justin, and Kareem were the golden children of Tanner University. Their paths were set: doctors, lawyers, business moguls, they were going to light the world on fire. Then, two weeks before graduation, Landy was murdered—and Nathan was blamed. Though he was never charged, vicious rumors drove him from town, and the circle of friends broke.

Ten years later, Nathan is back in Tanner, determined to clear his name. He’s asking questions no one wants answered, and soon rumors threaten to divide the community once more. Everyone in this small town is keeping big secrets—especially Landy’s old friends—and someone is willing to kill to keep their darkest deeds buried…

REVIEW

Landy, Tenile, Nathan, Justin and Kareem were best friends, during their college at Tanner University. Landy-Justin and Tenile-Nathan were couples. Everything was so beautiful and their future is all set, just when Landy was murdered. And Nathan became the suspect. Even after Nathan's father won him out of the case, rumors never changed. Ten years later, Nathan goes back to Tanner to find the murderer. But there are so many secrets and so many rumors that comes with every turn Nathan takes. Between all this, he has to win Tenile back...from Justin.

Very well written and interesting characters! Every character has more secrets than what we know through the first impression and the author releases one after the other giving readers enough time to appreciate or analyze everything. The change in POV between the main characters gave more detail behind the motivation for their secrets. I loved the romance between Tenile and Nathan and was rooting for the couple to get together from the start.

I couldn't have asked for a better mystery novel. This is just perfect, until the ending though. That's just plain cruel to end a novel like that, without even a partial closure. :( But, the only thing that has kept me from pulling my hair after that kind of ending is that the second part of this series is coming soon. That's a big relief.
