The Counselors

"Dark secrets? Summer camp setting? Complex teen girls? Murder? Count me in." —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces

* A New York Times bestseller * A USA TODAY bestseller * An Indie Bestseller *

From New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman comes a twisty mystery about three best friends, one elite summer camp, and the dark secrets that lead to a body in the lake.

Camp Alpine Lake is the only place where Goldie Easton feels safe—the camp is the lifeline of the small town she lives in. Alpine Lake provides jobs, money and prestige to the region. Her parents work there so Goldie is one of the few townies who have reaped the rewards of living so close to the summer camp, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents.

Goldie is back this summer as a counselor, desperate for camp to start and her best friends, Ava and Imogen, to arrive. Because Goldie has a terrible dark secret she's been keeping, and she is more in need of comfort than ever.

But Goldie's not the only person who has been lying. When a teen turns up dead late one night, she knows that the death couldn't have been an accident. She also knows that one of her best friends was there that night.

Asking questions offers no answers, only broken bonds of lifelong friendship, with hidden danger and betrayals deeper than Goldie ever imagined.
