The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman

dark emotional reflective

3.5

A classics literary gothic by Carol Goodman. A Latin student returns to her alma mater as a Latin teacher in a prestigious girl boarding school in upstate New York. The school holds various mysteries often accompanying female friendships, jealousies, and identities in the backdrop of the cold, icy lake surrounded by forests. The book was a bit long for me since the string of murders is pretty transparent when you pay attention to the details. But if you love language, ancient history, and cold atmospheric backdrops this one is for summer nights.
