2/3's way through now. Really gripping. Something strange is happening to teenage girls in this small town. The possible causes are all very topical for 2014.

This book was mentioned in an earlier post by mainer, Top mystery nominees from Strand Magazine Critics Awards Fri May 29, 2015, 05:33 PM
Best Novel:
1. The Fever by Megan Abbott

Thank you, mainer, for that list. And Goblinmonger, for starting this thread.

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday afternoon and good reads.
