Prior to that, she worked for CNN for a decade, covering the White House, and she was also posted in Moscow for five years, reporting on the fall of the Soviet Union. Told in alternate timelines, this chilling and unputdownable novel of psychological - and otherworldly - suspense delivered an imaginative and gripping mystery with a ghostly twist.
There's a place for the girls whom no one wants--the troublemakers, the illegitimate, the too smart for their own good. It's called Idlewild Hall. And in the small town where it's located, there are rumors that the boarding school is haunted.
Four roommates bond over their whispered fears, their budding friendship blossoming--until one of them mysteriously disappears. As much as she's tried, journalist Fiona Sheridan cannot stop revisiting the events surrounding her older sister's death. Twenty years ago, her body was found lying in the overgrown fields near the ruins of Idlewild Hall. And though her sister's boyfriend was tried and convicted of murder, Fiona can't shake the suspicion that something was never right about the case.
When Fiona discovers that Idlewild Hall is being restored by an anonymous benefactor, she decides to write a story about it.
But a shocking discovery during the renovations will link the loss of her sister to secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the past--and a voice that won't be silenced. I should preface this whole review by confessing something that might put a few of your minds at ease: What surprised me most of all: In the present, journalist Fiona is reporting on the renovation of the long-abandoned boarding school Idlewild Hall. In pursuit of her story, Fiona ingratiates herself to the crew doing the renovations, and takes a particularly chilling tour of the ruins of the school that was so vividly told, I could practically picture her exploring the run-down halls of Idlewild.
In the past, readers meet four girls attending the school. We walk the halls with them, learn their dark and tragic backstories, and feel their fear when things in Idlewild go bump in the night. James has nailed the atmosphere of this book: These chapters take turns focusing on alternating individuals in this group of young women, and quickly became my favorite part of the book. Readers will soon discover that each of these young women carries her own burdens and traumas, and has a unique and richly-developed personality and backstory.
James does an excellent job fleshing out this group—readers will love the vivid characterization evident in these flashback chapters, and will find themselves even more invested in the fate of these girls thanks to the energy St. James puts into their development. But, this being a crime novel, we also know they will face their fair or unfair share of challenges. These four girls quickly find themselves on the receiving end of some disturbing and inexplicable happenings at the school—and when one of their own disappears and is presumed dead, the remaining three concoct a plan to get out of Idlewild before they meet a similar fate.
The twists and turns along the way to discovering what really happened to their missing friend will thrill readers. Despite genuinely loving this book, I do need to mention that there is a thread of it that I found unnecessary. If you are a reader who is unwilling to suspend belief when reading a crime novel, this might not be the right pick for you—from its supernatural element to its slightly far-fetched finale.
Did I question it? Could the book have been tied together in a stronger, more realistic way? Would I still recommend this book?
