15 years ago at Camp Nightingale three girls vanish without a trace, leaving one girl, Emma Davis, to question everything and constantly think about what happened. The camp closes down, forcing all to go their separate ways. 15 years later, Emma is contacted by Franny, owner and operator of Camp Nightingale, who says she plans to reopen, and would love Emma to be the art teacher. Emma, determined to find out what happened to her friends all those years ago, reluctantly agreed and vows to discover the truth. What she finds points her in many different directions, but doesn’t deter her from trying to get answers. Then a few days into camp history seems to repeat itself, this time clouding Emma in suspicion.
I seriously could not put this book down. There are twists and turns and everyone seems suspicious so it keeps you guessing who did it and what really happened. The ending is unexpected and leaves you wanting more! Excellent book, I highly recommend.

Not a summer camp that I'd be frequenting...
Emma Davis an artist, returns to the summer camp (Camp Nightingale) that she went to as a girl. During her last (and only) stay, the three other girls in her cabin went missing with no trace, never to be found again. Emma's artwork reflects her inability to forget what happened.
When Camp Nightingale reopens after 15 years, the owner, Frances (Franny) Harris-White, invites her along to be an art instructor. Emma goes along to try and lay her ghosts to rest.
This had a real air of menace throughout. It felt like there was a possible abductor around every corner. A great thriller, and I very much enjoyed it. I have to admit to not liking any of the characters though. I didn't even feel sorry for Emma, and believe me, she has plenty for people to feel sorry for. This story is such dark and compulsive reading though. Great stuff!
