The Church of Dead Girls
Linda avatar reviewed on + 770 more book reviews


A small upstate New York village. Friends and neighbors that you've known for years. Quiet, safe ... that's what they all believe..... until young girls start disappearing.
The story, told by a teacher's viewpoint is much more than a who-dun-it and where are the girls. This story takes us into the very lives of everyone living there during this awful time. Suspicion becomes paranoia ..... friends become suspect ..... some become murderers.
Approximately 400 pages, this is not a book you can race through. The author has paid exqisite attention to detail. You know these people .. you can identify with their secrets, their desires, their nightmares.
The book builds to a sinister ending after each disappearance. It's very hard to find a place to be able to walk away. The people in this sleepy little village will stay with you for a very long time.
