Sobre aquest llibre
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).
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 . . .
“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
“Such a seductive book.” —The New York Times Book Review
“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)
