Fiction. Literature. HTML:From the acclaimed author of A Field of Darkness comes another compelling novel featuring the acerbic and memorable voice of ex-debutante Madeline Dare.
Madeline Dare has finally escaped rust-belt Syracuse, New York, for the lush Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts. After her husband's job offer falls through, Maddie signs on as a teacher at the Santangelo Academy, a boarding school for disturbed teenagers. Behind the academy's ornate gates, she discovers a disturbing realm where students and teachers alike must submit to the founder's bizarre therapeutic regimen. From day one, Maddie feels uneasy about smooth-talking Dr. Santangelo but when she questions his methods, she's appalled to find that her fellow teachers would rather turn on each other than stand up for themselves, much less protect the students in their care. A chilling event confirms Maddie's worst suspicions, then hints at an even darker secret history, one that twines through the academy's very heart. Cut off from the outside world, Maddie must join forces with a small band of the school's most violently rebellious students-kids whose troubled grip on reality may well prove to be her only chance of salvation.… (més)

#2020unreadshelfproject. I liked this book up to the last few chapters. It was this slow build up and then, boom, all wrapped up. I also did not like the tie in with Jonestown. Seemed very forced and out of left field. Made no sense to me. I had higher hopes for this book. ( )

This another second book in a series that is at least as good as the first (Field of Darkness) if not better. It is not a typical mystery, as it takes some time to build up to the murder and then has a fairly fast resolution, but it is so well done. Madeline Dare, ex-debutante and child of a now paranoid hippie, has taken a job teaching at a special school for teens with mental problems. She is just settling in and connecting with her students when she starts to wonder about some of the tactics the school employs to discipline students and staff. I really can't say much about the plot because I don't want to ruin it for anyone else. Let's just say that Madeline is witty and funny, the kind that wrongs true rather than the sometimes over the top humor of someone like Evanovich, and the story is well plotted and executed. ( )
