Deliciously Dismantled

 It’s finally getting creepy in here.  Dismantled  by Jennifer McMahon chronicles the lives of a New England self-proclaimed college posse-- the Compassionate Dismantlers-- who take practical pranks way too far.  Tess, Henry, Val/Winnie, Spencer and Suz make up the Compassionate Dismantlers but the acts they perform can hardly be described as compassionate….

The pranks are harmless at first but one night a joke isn’t a joke anymore and someone gets hurt.  After this, the Compassionate Dismantlers disband. 

 

Ten years later, Spencer commits suicide after receiving a postcard seemingly from the Compassionate Dismantlers.  Subsequently Spencer’s family launches a private investigator onto the case and the past is dredged up and on show as the stuff of common gossip.

 

Married Dismantlers Henry and Tess live just a hair's breadth from the scene of the crime and they have a young daughter Emma.  Suz disappeared those ten years ago, Winnie reappears ten years later and now Spencer is dead.

 

I tried to figure this riddle out right away but to no avail.  It took a bit but it was fun and insightful trying.  I hope you have fun with the puzzle and better luck than I.  I know you will.

Jennifer McMahon’s Dismantled gives us thrills and suspense with a generous twist of supernatural.  It’s generously shaken as well as deliciously disturbed.
