The Secret History by Donna Tartt (October 1992)
Requirements: ePUB Reader | 2.75 Mb
Overview: This well-written first novel attempts to be several things: a psychological suspense thriller, a satire of collegiate mores and popular culture, and a philosophical bildungsroman.
Supposedly brilliant students at a posh Vermont school (Bennington, in thin disguise) are involved in two murders, one supposedly accidental and one deliberate. The book's many allusions, both literary and classical (the students are all classics majors studying with a professor described as both a genius and a deity) fail to provide the deeper resonance of such works as Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. Ultimately, The Secret History works best as a psychological thriller.
Genre: Fiction, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller
