Description

A journalist uncovers the dark secrets of an abandoned boarding school in this chilling suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel.

Vermont, 1950. There's a place for the girls whom no one wants—the troublemakers, the illegitimate, the ones too smart for their own good. It's called Idlewild Hall, and local legend says the boarding school is haunted. Four roommates bond over their whispered fears, their friendship blossoming—until one of them mysteriously disappears....

Vermont, 2014. Twenty years ago, journalist Fiona Sheridan's elder sister’s body was found in the overgrown fields near the ruins of Idlewild Hall. And although her sister’s boyfriend was tried and convicted of the murder, Fiona can’t stop revisiting the events, unable to shake the feeling that something was never right about the case.

When Fiona discovers that Idlewild Hall is being restored by an anonymous benefactor, she decides to write a story about it. But a shocking discovery during renovations links the loss of her sister to secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the past—and a voice that won’t be silenced....

Great, easy to read book. Nothing earth shattering about the story, characters or writing. A nice pace.
One strange note: the author somehow found it necessary to describe in detail the character’s clothing many times throughout the book. Maybe this was a way to define them descriptively but I found it very strange and annoying at times
A bit over detailed

I really loved this book!! It took me a while to get really hooked on it. I’d recommend audio if too many details makes you lose interest. It’s worth making it to the end.
Too long

I did not like the lead character. I found her whinny and annoying. The story could have been interesting without the ghost of Mary Hand. I’m not sure what the author was trying to do by adding this element to the story. Totally unnecessary!
Excellent book!
