Dismantlement = Freedom
Henry, Tess, Winnie, and Suz banded together in college to form a group they called the Compassionate Dismantlers. Following the first rule of their manifesto - "To understand the nature of a thing, it must be taken apart" - these daring misfits spend the summer after graduation in a remote cabin in the Vermont woods committing acts of meaningful vandalism and plotting elaborate, often dangerous, pranks. But everything changes when one particularly twisted experiment ends in Suz's death and the others decide to cover it up.
Nearly a decade later, Henry and Tess are living just an hour's drive from the old cabin. Each is desperate to move on from the summer of the Dismantlers, but their guilt isn't ready to let them go. When a victim of their past pranks commits suicide - apparently triggered by a mysterious Dismantler-style postcard - it sets off a chain of eerie events that threatens to engulf Henry, Tess, and their inquisitive nine-year-old daughter, Emma.
Is there someone who wants to reveal their secrets? Is it possible that Suz did not really die - or has she somehow found a way back to seek revenge.
(Also appears to be have been published as "Dismantled")

Journal Entry 2 by Plum-crazy at Brighouse, West Yorkshire United Kingdom on Saturday, March 21, 2015
Desperate to re-unite her parents, Emma sends their old university friends a postcard with the message
DISMANTLEMENT = FREEDOM. To understand the nature of a thing, it must be taken apart
This seemingly innocent act creates a chain of events that none of them could have anticipated or forseen the havoc that it wreaks on their lives. The story plays out in the present with flashbacks to the past in which we learn what the Compassionate Dissemblers actually got up to that infamous summer.
While I suppose if I was completely honest I would have to say that some parts - & maybe Suz's character too - weren't wholly credible but for the purpose of the storyline they were perfect - if that makes sense! This was just the sort of book I love, it kept me enthralled throughout & wondering where it would go next. it also kept me asking...just who is Danner? That final sentence finished it all off nicely :o)
