Jennifer McMahon: Island of Lost Girls


I can't remember when or why I picked this up, but I was browsing my to-be-read pile one day and saw it there, became curious, and started reading. And kept on reading until it was finished. So whatever the reason was, it was a good one.

Set in a small Vermont town, the book explores tangled relationships between the members of two families and secrets kept hidden for years - all this against the backdrop of a search for a missing school girl. It manages the task of following multiple mysterious disappearances in different times without making any of the paths toward discovery seem over-complicated or contrived.

Wikipedia tells me she has written several other novels, including one that was nominated for a Lambda award. Crowded as my TBR pile is, I think I will have to find a copy and add it to that pile.
