Lord of the Flies but as they are thrown

but as they are thrown together again and again--in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow--what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they've written about themselves

to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage

The Maid's Secret is a spell-binding whodunit that will capture your heart

" --Reese Witherspoon
