The Sea of Lost Girls by Carol Goodman

 

Lies, secrets, and cover-ups abound in THE SEA OF LOST GIRLS.

Tess would do anything for her son, Rudy....even lie FOR him and lie TO him.

Rudy has always been a problem, and Tess always defended her son even though her husband, Harmon, complained about it.

Tess and Harmon taught at the school Rudy was attending and lived ten minutes off campus.  Both Tess and Harmon have things to hide, but what are they? Do they have anything to do with the death of Lila?

After Lila was found dead, Tess has to re-live her previous life that has been kept a secret until now.  Harmon’s secrets remain a secret.

We follow the investigation, learn of Tess's life after she left Haywood School and after the birth of her son, and has us pondering how it all fits together to find who was responsible for Lila's death.

Who really is the killer? 

There are quite a few characters who could be guilty and quite a few unlikable characters.

Are you a good enough detective to figure it out?

Ms. Goodman definitely knows how to keep up the suspense and feed the reader's curiosity. 4/5

This book was given to me by the publisher and Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
