About this title

Review:

In 1926 Henry Griswald was a kid, a student of the lovely and unusual Elizabeth Channing, who had recently arrived in his coastal Massachusetts village to teach art at a private school run by his father. Decades later, the people of Henry's village are still racked by guilt and troubled by uncertainty--who, or what, drove Miss Channing to madness and murder? Henry Griswald, narrator of The Chatham School Affair, holds the key. Using the same dark, brooding tone that permeated Breakheart Hill, Thomas Cook has crafted a disturbing yet entertaining psychological thriller.

From the Publisher:

When Malcolm Gaines asks attorney Henry Griswald to draw up his will, he resurrects the long-buried secret which haunts both their lives: the truth behind the tragic events the world knew as the Chatham School Affair, the controversial tragedy that destroyed five lives, shattered a quiet community, and forever scarred the two men. Layer by layer, in The Chatham School Affair, Cook paints a stunning portrait of a woman, a school, and a town in which passionate violence seems impossible ... and inevitable. "Thomas Cook's night visions, seen through a lens darkly, are haunting," raved The New York Times Book Review. The Chatham School Affair will cement this superb writer's reputation as one of crime fiction's most prodigious talents.
