From the bestselling author of The Lake of Dead Languages comes an enthralling work of literary fiction that follows a mother and daughter as they uncover the sinister secrets of an isolated boarding school. In debt after her husband's unexpected death, Meg Rosenthal secures a job as a teacher at a boarding school. She and her teenage daughter, Sally, depart from suburban Long Island life and embark on a new life in Arcadia Falls, a beautiful but isolated small town that was the inspiration for a number of magically eerie fairy tales. With a hurtful rift growing between them since her husband's death, Meg is hopeful that the change of scene will provide her and her daughter with a fresh start. But it soon becomes clear to Meg that this isolated community hides deeply rooted, deadly secrets. After a ghastly, mysterious death, Arcadia Falls begins to reveal a disturbing dark side. Returning to the psychological territory explored in the beloved The Lake of Dead Languages, Carol Goodman's latest fictional foray is literary suspense at its most exquisite and haunting.
