In my Dreams I Hold a Knife turned out to be an edgy and highly addictive thriller. I loved the academic setting and the haunting, moody atmosphere that surrounded it.  It didn't take me long to realize that each of the characters at the heart of this whodunit was harboring secrets, which made it extra fun since I couldn't trust anyone. This book kept me guessing until the jaw-dropping end.  I think I had a death grip on it as I read those final chapters.
