A LESSON IN VENGEANCE

Narrator Lindsey Dorcus fills her voice with the smoothness of smoky whisky and the softness of flickering candles in this twisty sapphic thriller. At the beginning of her senior year at Dalloway, a prep school for girls haunted by its legacy of witchcraft, Felicity is still mourning the death of her girlfriend the previous spring. But she's soon drawn into the orbit of new student and writing prodigy Ellis. When Felicity offers to help Ellis research the mysterious deaths of five Dalloway students in the 1700s, things start getting weird--and dangerous. Dorcus's low narration is silky; Felicity's grief and grit are palpable in her tone. Drawing listeners in with the haunting cadence of her voice, Dorcus casts a spell as powerful as Lee's prose.
