I loved this story, a murder mystery that takes place at a girls boarding school. Boarding schools are wonderful places, so full of good friendships and bad relationships, nice and mean teenagers and teachers, smart and less smart people, history, old buildings, good hiding places, nuns and priests, etc. Nobody can lie like a teenage girl. In this book we meet Detective Conway, and we also revisit Detective Stephen Moran, Detective Frank Mackey, and Frank's daughter Holly Mackey. It's a well-told tale, full of teenage angst and that special time in life when your closest friends are the whole world. As always, Tana French's prose is extraordinary. It provides such a rich sense of place and mood.
