The Temple House Vanishing, Donohue - C+
This is a coming of age story set in an all-girls boarding school in Ireland in the early 1990's. Louisa is a new scholarship student who comes under the spell of the handsome young art teacher, Mr. Lavelle, and one of his proteges, Victoria. The disappearance of Mr. Lavelle and Louisa twenty-five years earlier is being investigated by a journalist. Everyone thinks they ran away. The police think he killed her. Neither are correct.
Slow as molasses. Suspense requires momentum and this book seemed stuck in repetitive descriptions. I think your C+ was fair.
