Tana French (Get this book)A hint of the supernatural spices the latest from a mystery master as two detectives try to probe the secrets teenage girls keep-and the lies they tell-after murder at a posh boarding school. The Dublin novelist has few peers in her combination of literary stylishness and intricate, clockwork plotting. Here, French challenges herself and her readers with a narrative strategy that finds chapters alternating between two different time frames and points of view. Beyond the murder mystery, which leaves the reader in suspense throughout, the novel explores the mysteries of friendship, loyalty and betrayal, not only among adolescents, but within the police force as well. Everyone is this meticulously crafted novel might be playing-or being played by-everyone else.--Kirkus
