This is a mystery. It features two timelines by two narrators that of 16 year year old Louisa set in the 1990 and the journalist who is investigating her and Mr Lavelle's disappearance, which was set in 2015.
In 1990, 16 year old Louisa gets a scholarship to Temple House, an elite Catholic boarding school while her parents go through a divorce. She befriends a popular student Victoria who is infatuated by Mr Lavelle, their young charismatic Art Teacher. However, the infatuation leads to dire consequences as later Louisa and Mr Lavelle disappear.
In 2015, a journalist who lived across the street from Louisa investigates their disappearance as it marks the 25th anniversary. She researches and finds an interesting lead that gives an insight to what really happened.
I liked how the author gave two first person narratives because it makes you have a greater understanding of all the characters, and it created suspense. The author also used dialogues and vivid descriptions to interest her readers.
