Markus's psychological thriller builds in mystery and suspense as Emily, a passionate scholar of Emily Dickinson, struggles to unravel the links between her own history and an unsolved murder that occurred on the grounds of her small, unstructured girls' boarding school. The strong, smart, and emotionally vibrant characters are intriguing, especially for fans of Dickinson's life and poetry.
