Never Saw Me Coming by Vera KurianMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This story captures the reader’s interest right away. The first page starts with our protagonist, Chloe, setting the timeline for murdering another student. The setting is a college campus in Washington DC during a season complicated by protests. The core group of people we are following are all anonymous to each other, but enrolled in a psychological research trial that has provided each of them scholarships to attend the university. The trial is a study of psychopathy and trying to show that interventional steps to retrain the way that they process information and behave can help them to live more mainstream lives.
The problems begin when a murder occurs in the psychology building and the dying person is found by one of the students enrolled in the study. Naturally everyone is uneasy with this event but then a second murder occurs, involving another participant in the study and now there is a serial killer. Several of the students find other participants and they start to try to work together to find out who the murderer is. Of course, none of them know each other well and being psychopaths, are particularly uncertain as to who to trust and not trust. The one thing they do know is that the major professor conducting the research was the treating psychologist of the most notorious serial killer in the past 20 years that the school has had.
How does present day tie into the history of the school and the psychologist’s involvement with the prior case?
Can they stay safe and who can be trusted?
Who might die and who might live?
Lots of questions and the author does a good job of tying things together in an interesting way.
Definitely recommend!
