Helpful Score: 2


One by one, three young girls disappear in a small town in upstate New York. With the first disappearance, townspeople begin to mistrust outsiders. When the second girl disappears, they grow suspicious of each other. And with the third disappearance, the town awakens to a full-blown nightmare. This book probes the ruinous effects of suspicion. As panic mounts and citizens take the law into their own hands, old rumors, old angers and old hungers come to the surface to reveal the secret history of this town and the dark pulses of its inhabitants.

The book is long, lots of details about everyone in town, so you don't know who to suspect, but it's good & suspenseful.
