The Secret History

Donna Tartt

Published in the early 90s. A first novel set in an American college. A group in a Greek class set themselves apart from the other kids by being aloof. There are parallels with Brett Easton Ellis and Jay McInnery. It's a long book and a long time is spent setting the scene. Half way through something truly remarkable and horrific happens. It's a good holiday read.
