A journalist starts investigating the disappearance of a teacher and pupil 25 years earlier from a private school. She interviews various people connected to the case and eventually the girls best friend. The novel starts with her killing herself.
Intertwined with the story of the journalist's investigation is chapter's narrated by the girl Louisa who has gone missing. it starts with her arriving at the school and get developing relationship with her friend and teacher.
The story is quite slow to get going and there is never any big excitement which is quite unusual for a crime story. It felt like a peaceful retelling.
However the story drew me in and kept me wondering until the last few chapters as to what had happened and why.
