A brand new author to me - I do like finding a new author. An enjoyable read and would be interested in reading more by this author.

This is certainly one of those books that drags you in. It then keeps you there until you dare to read the last page.
What a great read.

Review: THE SI LENT GIRLS by Ann Troup

This engrossing mystery (along with a mystery of the same title I had just read, by Dylan Young) reminds me exactly what I love about "psychological horror " Ms. Troup masterfully sets a stage, then populates it with a series of then-and-now, interconnected plots and characters. Leading with a shocking reader's hook, the novel becomes, in a sense, a validation of that supremely wise quote of George Santayana: "Those who do not remember history are condemned to repeat it." In the square at Winfield, those who remember keep silent, and the next generation remains in the dark. Yet even secrets fifty years old or older refuse to forever stay buried. Sometimes there results poetic justice, sometimes vengeance, sometimes evil rejoices.

THE SILENT GIRLS is definitely a stay-up-to-all-hours read.
