Arrowood by Laura Mchugh
Arrowood is the grandest of historical houses lining the Mississippi. It has its own stories and ghostly presence: it's where two small twin girls were abducted ten years ago... Now, Arden has returned to her childhood home determined to establish what really happened to her sisters that traumatic summer.
Superb and subtle psychological suspense, and a compelling mystery, too. . I thought I knew who did it, but I was wrong—four times. -- Lee Child
Cool, clever and infused with a compellingly chilly melancholy, Arrowood kept me guessing and re-guessing all the way to its inexorable conclusion. -- Ruth Ware
A failed graduate student's return to the family mansion she inherited from her grandfather touches off a maelstrom of emotion, regret and memories in McHugh's poignant second novel . . . Lyrical prose and in-depth character studies examine the reliability of memory, punctuated by believable suspense and aided by a careful look at a small town. * Publishers Weekly *
McHugh’s slow exposure of an old crime is a pitch-perfect example of a Southern gothic. * Sunday Times *
Magical * Daily Mail *
