The Princess Game – Soman Chainani

This is a short story, and a nice twist on high school tropes.

It’s told from the point of view of a young cop who’s gone undercover at the elite high school where a number of the popular girls have been killed. He’s gone in with the boys, and this story definitely becomes all about those princes. It’s actually not that much of a mystery, if you’ve paid any attention to mystery tropes, but I like how it’s told. That’s the good twist.
