The Secret History - Donna Tarrt

Why this book is a must-read - reviewed by the KAAI team

"The fact that you know from the very first page that a murder has taken place, but only gradually uncover how and why, creates a psychological tension that grips you completely. The charismatic yet broken group of students is both fascinating and unsettling. You feel drawn to their intelligence and mystery yet at the same time repelled by their moral indifference. At times, it really grabs you by the throat."

— Britt, Customer Happiness Team

About the book

At KAAI, we love books that pull you into their world completely, and The Secret History by Donna Tartt is one of those rare novels that does just that. This psychological thriller is as dark as it is captivating.

Set in an elite New England college, the novel follows a tight-knit group of classics students whose obsession with beauty, intellect, and ancient philosophy leads them down a dangerous path. Tartt’s masterful storytelling and richly drawn characters make this more than just a mystery—it’s an immersive exploration of morality, power, and the weight of secrets.
