challenging dark mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced

I picked up this book in the library because the cover was beautiful and the synopsis sounded interesting. Sometimes, it's good to judge a book by its cover! Anna has a beautiful writing style throughout the book. I really took to madeline and veronique as characters, they were lovely. Every character has their own tragic back story which fit with the times. The mystery parts of this book were very good, it keeps you on your toes guessing until near the end of the book. However, I really loved the unlikely friendships that grew in such horrible circumstances. 
Overall, it was a very well rounded story with a good murder/mystery element to it. I definitely think it's worth the read if you like darker subjects :)
