Book
Coram House : a novel / Bailey Seybolt.
"In this debut that's perfect for fans of Tana French and Gillian Flynn, a true crime writer risks becoming the next chapter of a crumbling orphanage's dark legacy as she unravels the mystery of two deaths, decades apart"-- Provided by publisher.
"On a blistering summer day in 1968, nine-year-old Tommy vanishes without a trace from Coram House, an orphanage on the shores of Lake Champlain. Some say a nun drowned him, others say he ran away. Or maybe he never existed. Fifty years later, his disappearance is still unsolved. Struggling true crime writer Alex Kelley needs a fresh start. When she's asked to ghostwrite a book about the orphanage--and the abuses that occurred there--she packs up her belongings and moves to wintry Burlington, Vermont. As Alex tries to untangle the conflicting stories surrounding Tommy's disappearance, her investigation takes a chilling turn when she discovers a woman's body in the lake. Alex is convinced the death is connected to Coram House's dark past, even if local police officer Russell Parker thinks she's just desperate for a career-saving story. As the body count rises, Alex must prove that the key to finding the killer lies in Tommy's murder, or risk becoming the next victim." --Provided by Publisher.
