A debut that reads like a classic.

It's a brilliant novel, even more so because it's a debut. Jane Hudson returns to Heart Lake, a small private school, as a Latin teacher twenty years after her two roommates died in individual suicides. As pages from Jane's missing diary start to reappear, three of her favourite students begin to 'relive' the events of Jane's final year as a student. I figured out about half-way through who the 'villain' was but half the fun was reading in suspense to find out whether I was right or not. Any Latin or Classics student will probably find a lot to love about this book.
