Left penniless after the sudden death of her husband, Meg Rosenthal is forced to give up her comfortable life and take up a job at private college, Arcadia Falls, where old secrets of betrayal and murder wait.
An intriguing little romantic thriller in the style of Mary Higgins Clark (although I think Goodman's writing style is more surefooted and polished than MHC's). At times melodramatic, often contrived, yet the central characters were engaging enough to keep me up to the small hours reading and to have a lump in my throat at the ending. Hugely enjoyable.
