The Chatham School Affair - Thomas H. Cook

Descriere The Chatham School Affair - Thomas H. Cook

What drove a woman to murder in 1920s New England? Few readers will be prepared for the surprise that awaits at novel's end in this Edgar Award-winning novel (Publishers Weekly, starred review). \n It was referred to as the Chatham School affair--a tragic event that destroyed five lives, shook a coastal Massachusetts community to its core, and traumatized a boy named Henry Griswald. Now Henry is an aged, unmarried lawyer, and as he writes his will, he recalls that long-ago day in 1926 when something drove his teacher to murder--and contemplates the role he played in it all . . . \n \n Cook is a master, precise and merciless, at showing the slow-motion shattering of families and relationships . . . The Chatham School Affair ranks with his best. --Chicago Tribune \n \n Such a seductive book. --The New York Times Book Review \n \n Like the best of his crime-writing colleagues, Cook uses the genre to open a window onto the human condition . . . [a] literate, compelling novel. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)\n
