The “clever and wonderfully chilling” (Fiona Barton)
suspense novel from the award-winning author of The
Haunting of Maddy Clare...
Vermont,
1950. There's a place for the girls whom no one
wants—the troublemakers, the illegitimate, the too smart for
their own good. It's called Idlewild Hall. And in the small
town where it's located, there are rumors that the boarding
school is haunted. Four roommates bond over their whispered
fears, their budding friendship blossoming—until one of them
mysteriously disappears...
Vermont,
2014. As much as she's tried, journalist Fiona Sheridan
cannot stop revisiting the events surrounding her older
sister's death. Twenty years ago, her body was found lying
in the overgrown fields near the ruins of Idlewild Hall. And
though her sister's boyfriend was tried and convicted of
murder, Fiona can't shake the suspicion 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 the renovations will link the loss of her
sister to secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the
past—and a voice that won't be silenced...
