Five campus mystery novels

At Book Riot Julia Rittenberg tagged five titles that "provide the perfect backdrop for diving headfirst into research in musty libraries and sorting through the clues," including:

Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas

I read this book back during the doldrums of 2020, and it broke my anxiety-induced reading slump, so I still highly recommend it. A secretive institution called Catherine House only takes and produces the best of the best. When Ines arrives, she expects rigorous academia, but gets a much more exploratory, experimental, hippie-ish education. The longer Indes spends there, the darker the school becomes.
